Description
Mallee Daisy Bush is a hardy drought-tolerant native shrub renowned for its white or pale mauve daisy-like flowers and distinctive grey-green foliage that creates beautiful displays in Australian gardens. This resilient species produces clusters of daisy flowers with white or pale mauve petals and bright yellow centers at the ends of branches, blooming in spring and summer while attracting native bees and butterflies. The narrow grey-green leaves with rolled-down margins create attractive fine-textured evergreen foliage that maintains neat, erect growth habits. Exceptionally hardy and drought tolerant once established, it thrives in well-drained soils and full sun positions with excellent adaptability to temperate to arid climates. Perfect for drought-tolerant gardens, mallee plantings, and areas where hardy native shrubs with reliable daisy flowering create resilient landscape displays.
