This stunning Australian native shows off delicate-looking silver foliage that is extremely soft to the touch, hence its common name - Woolly Bush Platinum. With its soft silver foliage and delightful small red flowers borne throughout the year, Platinum can be grown either as a specimen plant, a striking hedge, or even as an interesting alternative to the standard Christmas tree. A light prune after flowering will encourage strong new growth.
