Being native to much of coastal Australia I am a hardy evergreen shrub with white flowers that are produced throughout the year upon attractive grey-green foliage. I thrive in most soils from clay to sand, acid and alkaline. I attract native wildlife including birds and insects. I can be clipped to a formal shape but am naturally dense and will develop a rounded form when left unclipped. I tolerate drought and frost.

I produce white to mauve flowers most of the year
