The stunning silvery foliage borne on upright branches and the masses of white daisy flowers in spring are the key features of this lovely Australian shrub. Use it as a feature plant for a shrubbery where the light coloured foliage will contrast with other plants to create a year round feature. Give it a light trim after it finishes blooming in spring.
