This tough plant is an excellent choice for shrubberies, rockeries, containers and low hedges; providing a suitable habitat for small native birds such as wrens and finches. For optimum results, position is a sunny to partly shaded position, tolerates most soil types as well as periods of drought and frost. Prune well after flowering to maintain a compact shape and promote fresh new growth. Baeckea virgata nana will grow to a height of 50cm and a width of 50cm.
