Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A tough and fast growing shrub from South Australia. The entire plant erupts with thousands of small, golden pom-poms in late Winter to early Spring. This adaptable plant makes an excellent screen and isn't too fussy about soils, as long as they drain. Provide full sun and expect growth to about 6-8' high and wide. Light pruning at a young age will encourage a fuller plant. Hardy to at least 26 °F and possibly lower.
