Our native white-flowered tick bush is already a hot choice - tough as, loves sun and cold; great shelter for small mammals; binds banks and stabilises sand dunes; stands up to harsh winds and heavy rain; and provides a buffet for passing pollinators.

Tick bush is like a roast dinner with all the trimmings. And it now comes in a gorgeous cool-toned pale pink - so you can have two serves of all that good stuff! (Leave room for pudding, because our red-flowered kunzeas are stunners too... you'll want them all!)

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