It may look like it's seen an early frost, but this plant is this colour all year round! Its compact foliage criss-crosses with these tough white stems, looking a bit like coral in its growth pattern. In late summer it can produce pale yellow flowers which are popular with pollinators. Usually reaching heights between 20-70cm trall, it will take a few years for your Cushion Bush to reach its full size and maturity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" dir=\"ltr\" border=\"1\" data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"width: 100.088%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e \u003ccol width=\"97\" style=\"width: 17.1378%;\"\u003e \u003ccol width=\"92\" style=\"width: 16.2544%;\"\u003e \u003ccol width=\"178\" style=\"width: 31.4488%;\"\u003e \u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Perennial\"}' style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eEvergreen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Flower: clustered flowers on taller stems\"}' style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eCushy, clump forming.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Flowers June to August\"}' style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eFoliage year-round where temperatures aren't too low, flowers in late summer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScientific Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLeucophyta brownii \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(Brown's white plant)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eCushion Bush, Australian Garland Flower\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eNative to the southern coast of Australia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePruning Tips\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003ePinch out stems to encourage bushy growth.
