Neutral smiln32 On May 8, 2004, smiln32 from Oklahoma City, OK (Zone 7a) wrote:

The stiff leaves are forked into many needle like leaflets that have pointed tips. The sharpness of the leaf points and the massiveness of the shrub makes it a good barrier plant. Fragrant small white flowers bloom in the fall and winter. Native to Australia.
