Plant Summary

Metalasia muricata, known as coast metalasia, is a tough and versatile shrub. Needle-like leaves are green-grey or woolly, and clusters of white, pink or purple flowers attract bees and butterflies. The flowers have a sweet honey scent that fills the air in winter. Traditionally, the dried leaves are used to make tea. Metalasia muricata can grow in coastal or mountainous regions, and can tolerate frost and poor soils. It is easy to grow from seed and requires little maintenance. Pruning can help to keep it in shape and encourage more flowering.
