Berry Saltbush / Saloop

Berry Saltbush is a low-growing, highly resilient native perennial herb that forms a dense ground-covering mat or low mound up to 30cm high and over a meter wide. It features unique, arrowhead-shaped grey-green leaves and produces tiny, fleshy, bright red-to-black berries that are an invaluable food source for ground-dwelling native lizards and small birds. It is exceptionally tough, thriving in dry shade beneath large trees or baked sunny banks where it acts as a living weed-suppressing mulch.
