Atriplex Silver Holly

Atriplex numularifolia

In the Austraflora display garden, this plant really sparkles amongst the rest – and best of all it’s easy to care for and perfect for those tricky spots! Tolerant particularly of coastal areas, as well as drought, flooding and frost. We absolutely love it’s silvery leaves with interesting holly shape, and compact habit. Plant in most soils, but best grown in a well-drained position that is mostly sunny.

Growing just 1.5m x 1m, its upright, small and compact habit make it a valuable small feature and foliage contrast plant. It can also be mass planted, particularly as a dense, fire proof hedge –  a fire protective barrier for homes and gardens.
