It forms a dense, upright shrub or small tree with softly arching branches and clean mid-green foliage, producing masses of pure white bottlebrush flowers in spring, often with a lighter repeat flush in summer. Highly tolerant of heat, drought, wind and coastal exposure once established, it performs reliably across South Australia in gardens, streetscapes and landscapes requiring toughness with visual impact. The foliage releases a light, pleasant eucalyptus-like aroma when crushed, and new growth may show subtle lighter green tones, adding gentle seasonal contrast. Ideal as a feature plant, informal screen or wildlife-friendly accent, ‘Snow Burst’ combines resilience with refined beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–5 m H × 2–3 m W (can be maintained smaller with pruning)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30–50 cm per year under good conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evergreen, narrow mid-green leaves; new growth lighter green; foliage lightly aromatic when crushed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Abundant pure white bottlebrush flowers in spring, with occasional repeat flowering in summer\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evergreen structure year-round with a standout white flowering display in spring; fresh green growth adds brightness in warmer months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highly attractive to bees, butterflies and nectar-feeding birds, including honeyeaters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drought-tolerant once established; excellent heat and wind tolerance; coastal-tolerant (first- and second-line); light frost hardy; adaptable to a wide range of soils including sandy and limestone soils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDensity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feature planting spaced 2.5–4 m apart; informal screening at 1.5–2 m spacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePet Friendly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Generally regarded as non-toxic; ingestion of foliage may cause mild stomach upset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere It Works Best\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun for best flowering and dense habit; tolerates light part shade with reduced bloom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Free-draining sandy loam, loam or improved clay; tolerates alkaline and coastal soils; avoid prolonged waterlogging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Needs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Establishment: 2 deep soaks\/week for 8–12 weeks.
