Einadia nutans

Einadia nutans, or Climbing Saltbush or Nodding Saltbush, is a low-growing, scrambling or climbing perennial native to Australia, often found in woodlands, grasslands, and along creek banks. This hardy plant features small, triangular green leaves and clusters of tiny, yellow-green flowers that bloom throughout the year, followed by bright red, berry-like fruits that are edible and attractive to wildlife.

Thriving in well-drained soils and tolerating full sun to partial shade, Climbing Saltbush is drought-tolerant and highly adaptable to a range of conditions, including saline and degraded soils. Its trailing habit makes it ideal as a groundcover, for erosion control, or for softening garden edges. The fruits provide food for birds, while the dense foliage offers shelter for small fauna.

With its resilience, ecological benefits, and ornamental appeal, Einadia nutans is a versatile choice for native gardens, revegetation projects, and sustainable landscaping.
