Ozothamnus Diosmifolius (Rice Flower) is a highly decorative Australian native shrub valued for its fine, aromatic foliage and abundant clusters of soft, fluffy flower heads. The blooms typically appear in shades of white to pink, creating a delicate, cloud-like effect that adds texture and lightness to garden plantings. Its naturally upright and bushy growth habit makes it an excellent choice for feature planting, mixed native borders, and cut flower arrangements, bringing both structure and softness to the landscape.
Well-suited to low-maintenance and waterwise gardens, Rice Flower thrives in sunny positions and performs reliably in a range of soil conditions once established. It is drought tolerant, hardy, and ideal for attracting pollinators such as bees and beneficial insects. With its long-lasting floral display and excellent cut flower qualities, this versatile shrub is a popular choice for gardeners and landscapers seeking seasonal colour and reliable performance with minimal upkeep.
