Description
Pimelea nivea is a compact shrub growing between 0.5–1.5 metres tall, with narrow, dark green foliage. Clusters of creamy white flowers, often flushed with soft pink, appear from late winter through spring. It thrives in well-drained sandy or loamy soils and tolerates both full sun and part shade. Drought and frost tolerant once established, it’s an excellent choice for attracting pollinators or adding structure to low-maintenance borders.
