Snow in summer


Bursaria spinosa is a native shrub that flowers in summertime, hence the common name "Snow in Summer".  It's easy to grow, drought hardy, gives a better display of flowers if it's pruned back in winter and bees and birds love the flowers.  Every home should have one.  This is one growing in Blackwood Forest Recreation Park so it hasn't been pruned but the floral display is still spectacular.
