A true Aussie Battler, native tick bush will bind banks and stabilise sand dunes; stand up to harsh winds and heavy rain; provide a buffet for passing pollinators; and even regenerate from seed after a fire.

It's tough as, laughing at Tassie cold and sunning it on Sydney beaches, and it provides great shelter for small mammals. Plus, it's really pretty in spring, covered in blossom, and smells good too! What more could you ask for?

A smaller version to fit into your garden? You got it - here. This one is under a metre high.
