Ozothamnus depressus

Ozothamnus depressus is a low-growing, evergreen shrub native to rocky and alpine regions where its compact form, typically no taller than 50cm, aids in wind resistance. Characterized by its silvery-grey foliage and clusters of small, white to pink flowers, ozothamnus depressus flourishes in well-drained soil, showcasing its resilience against harsh, dry conditions. Its dense, rounded shape and ability to grow in nutrient-poor substrates make it a distinctive element of its native habitat.
