Phebalium glandulosum

Phebalium glandulosum Details

Phebalium glandulosum is a small shrub grown for its unusual growth and flowering. In spring it produces petite yet exquisite, clusters of small, bright yellow flowers. The stems are slender, wiry and host the tiny, glossy, dark green leaves. Both the stems and leaves are covered in prominent, warty glands. It typically grows to 70 cm tall and 1 m wide, performing best when grown in full sun on a well-drained site. It is a hardy plant that is tolerant of wind, coastal environments, frost, and dry periods. It will not tolerate heavy, wet soils. Phebalium glandulosum is commonly included in a mixed planting, added to a coastal planting, or grown for its unusualness.
