The White Wildedagga is a beloved native shrub prized across South African gardens for its reliability and ecological value. This fast-growing, drought-tolerant perennial thrives in Western Cape conditions, flowering prolifically from autumn through winter, a season when garden colour is most welcome.
Distinctive white velvety flower clusters bloom on elongated stalks, creating bold vertical interest. The plant is a proven pollinator magnet, drawing sunbirds, bees, and butterflies when many other sources fade. Its water-smart nature makes it ideal for water-conscious gardeners and sustainable landscaping schemes.
Reaches 2m in height with a 1.5m spread. Performs best in full sun to semi-shade and requires minimal maintenance once established. As an indigenous species, it integrates seamlessly into native plantings and supports local wildlife.
