Epacris microphylla

Description

Meet our gorgeous little shrub! It's perfect for easy care, as long as you provide well-drained soil. This cutie blooms in spring with beautiful drifts of tiny white flowers that cascade down each stem. But that's not all - it also spots flowers throughout the year, so there's always something to enjoy. If you want to give it a boost, feed it with a good native fertilizer in late winter or early spring. It loves sunny spots to part shade and can be found growing naturally on sandy soils from Queensland to Victoria.
