Leucophyta brownii

Leucophyta brownii, or Cushion Bush, is a striking, compact shrub native to coastal regions of southern Australia, thriving in sandy soils and exposed conditions. Growing up to 1 meter tall and wide, it features dense, silver-grey, finely branched stems and small, inconspicuous yellow flowers that bloom in summer. Its unique foliage gives it a soft, textured appearance, adding a sculptural element to landscapes.

Cushion Bush is highly salt-tolerant and thrives in well-drained soils with full sun exposure, making it an excellent choice for coastal gardens, xeriscaping, and erosion control on sandy embankments. It is drought-tolerant and requires minimal maintenance once established, making it a low-maintenance option for challenging environments.

With its striking silver foliage, resilience to harsh conditions, and ability to enhance biodiversity by providing shelter for insects and small birds, Leucophyta brownii is a versatile and attractive choice for sustainable and ornamental landscaping
