Adenanthos Sericeus ‘Compacta’ (Dwarf Woolly Bush) is a beautifully soft and textural native shrub, loved for its fine silver-green foliage and naturally compact growth habit. Its velvety, feather-like leaves create a unique contrast in garden beds, native landscapes, and feature plantings, bringing year-round colour and interest without needing flowers to make an impact.
This hardy, low-maintenance shrub is ideal for coastal gardens, waterwise landscapes, borders, and containers. Its compact size makes it easier to manage than the larger Woolly Bush forms, while still offering the same soft, ornamental appeal. A great choice for customers wanting a stylish Australian native that is tough, attractive, and perfect for adding texture to modern garden designs.
