Common Name:
Leucophyta ‘Silver Bullion’
Description:
Leucophyta ‘Silver Bullion’ is a striking Australian native shrub celebrated for its intricate, silvery-white foliage and compact, rounded form. This cultivar of the coastal cushion bush offers year-round visual appeal, with its fine, wiry stems creating a sculptural, almost metallic texture that catches the light beautifully in any garden setting. Its small, pale yellow flowers appear in late spring to summer, though it is primarily grown for its foliage. Exceptionally hardy, ‘Silver Bullion’ thrives in full sun and free-draining soil, making it ideal for Melbourne’s dry summers and coastal conditions. It tolerates wind, drought, salt spray, and light frost, requiring minimal upkeep. Perfect for modern, Mediterranean, or native landscapes, it works well as a feature in mass plantings, borders, rockeries, and containers where contrast and structure are desired.
