Pimelea buxifolia

Pimelea buxifolia is a low-growing, dense shrub with a remarkable boxwood-like appearance. Its small, glossy green leaves and compact form make it an excellent choice for ornamental hedging in gardens. Flourishing in well-drained soils and full sun, pimelea buxifolia produces discrete white flowers that add subtle charm. This plant's resilience and minimal upkeep qualities mirror those of the habitats it thrives in—dry, rocky areas which demand hardiness.
