Leucophyta brownii ‘Silver Nugget’ – Cushion Bush
Compact, hardy, and strikingly silver, Leucophyta brownii ‘Silver Nugget’ is a standout native groundcover that brings texture and brilliance to any garden. This low, rounded shrub forms a neat, dense cushion of fine, tangled foliage in a bright silvery-white tone, offering year-round contrast and structure with very little maintenance.
Growing to around 30 cm tall and wide, ‘Silver Nugget’ is perfect for borders, coastal gardens, rockeries, and modern landscapes. Its silvery hue pairs beautifully with darker foliage, succulents, or native wildflowers, adding visual interest and soft contrast in mixed plantings.
Native to the southern coast of Australia, it’s exceptionally tolerant of salt spray, wind, drought, and poor soils—making it a top performer in tough, exposed locations. Small, pale yellow flowers may appear in summer, though the real star is its sculptural foliage.
Whether you’re designing a contemporary, coastal, or native garden, Leucophyta ‘Silver Nugget’ Cushion Bush delivers year-round colour, form, and resilience in a compact and eye-catching package.
