Ozothamnus ferrugineus

Ozothamnus ferrugineus, or Tree Everlasting, is a hardy, fast-growing shrub native to southeastern Australia, commonly found in forests, woodlands, and along creek banks. Growing up to 3 meters tall, it features slender, aromatic green leaves and produces abundant clusters of small, white, papery flowers that bloom in late spring and summer, adding a delicate yet striking display to natural and cultivated landscapes.

This adaptable shrub thrives in well-drained soils and tolerates full sun to partial shade. It is drought-tolerant once established and ideal for use in native gardens, revegetation projects, and habitat restoration. Its dense growth provides shelter and nesting sites for small birds and insects, while its flowers attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

With its attractive blooms, resilience, and ecological benefits, Ozothamnus ferrugineus is a versatile choice for biodiversity-focused landscaping, erosion control, and sustainable landscape designs.
