Description
Coleonema alba 2.5LT, commonly known as White Confetti Bush, is a compact indigenous evergreen shrub valued for its fine, aromatic foliage and masses of delicate white flowers that bloom from late winter through spring. The abundant blossoms attract bees and butterflies, making it a wonderful addition to wildlife-friendly gardens. Its neat, rounded growth habit makes it ideal for borders, rockeries, indigenous gardens, low hedges, and containers. Coleonema alba typically grows 1–1.5m tall and 1–1.5m wide.
