Ozothamnus diosmifolius ‘Petite’ – Dwarf Rice Flower

Ozothamnus diosmifolius ‘Petite’ is a compact, dwarf form of the popular Australian native Rice Flower, valued for its long flowering period, aromatic foliage and attractive rounded habit. Clusters of delicate white flowers provide a beautiful display that peaks through spring and summer, with additional flowering possible during autumn and winter.

The dark green foliage has a pleasant aromatic quality, while the nectar-rich flowers attract butterflies and beneficial insects. The blooms are also highly regarded for cut flower arrangements, adding versatility to this hardy garden plant.

‘Petite’ is well suited to low hedging, borders and compact garden spaces. It adapts to most well-drained soils and performs well in full sun or part shade. Frost and drought tolerant once established, it benefits from an occasional light trim to maintain its neat, compact shape.
