Cute as a button flowering native, suited to borders and seaside gardens. We grow it on our Sunshine Coast nursery but it does prefer a less humid climate. Cut flowers may be dried for extended life, so you can enjoy them for longer - they pair very well with blue flowers as you can see in the image gallery.

We can't ship this product to Tasmania, Western Australia.
