Common Name
Yellow Leionema
Description
Yellow Leionema is a delicate native shrub renowned for its masses of bright yellow star-shaped flowers and fine heath-like foliage that creates charming displays in small garden spaces. This attractive form produces clusters of small, five-petaled yellow flowers that bloom profusely in spring and intermittently throughout the year, creating brilliant golden displays against the fine-textured green leaves. The narrow, linear leaves provide beautiful textural contrast and remain evergreen year-round. Requiring excellent drainage and protection from harsh conditions, it thrives in well-drained sandy soils and partial shade to full sun positions. Perfect for rockeries, container plantings, and specialist native gardens where delicate beauty and continuous flowering are valued.
