Fringed Heath-myrtle

The Fringed Heath-myrtle is a charming, low-mounding or cascading native shrub growing roughly 30cm to 60cm high and spreading up to a meter wide. It features tiny, overlapping aromatic green leaves along fine arching stems, and is celebrated for its long-lasting winter display of miniature flowers that open white and mature to a rich crimson-red, blanketed across the canopy. It loves sun-baked rockeries or decorative container pots.
