Silver Bush (Calocephalus) – Shimmering Foliage for Garden and Pots

The Silver Bush (Calocephalus) is a small, shrubby plant from the Australian desert with branched, silvery stems. Perfect as a filler or decorative element in pots, planters, or borders. Its sprawling stems can form a cushion of ±50 cm, which can be easily pruned to maintain a compact shape.

Note: the gray-yellow flowers are optional and not decorative; pruning prevents flowering and preserves the plant’s silvery beauty. The Silver Bush can tolerate light frost and is often used in winter mixed pots.
