Aussie Flat Bush Saltbush (Rhagodia spinescens 'Aussie Flat Bush')

Silver foliage that survives almost anything - that is the promise of Aussie Flat Bush. This selected form of our native creeping saltbush grows low, flat and dense, laying down a carpet of shimmering grey-green leaves over the hottest, driest, most neglected corners of the garden.

🌱 Why Gardeners Love Aussie Flat Bush Saltbush

✔ Silver-Grey Foliage - a cool, contemporary contrast against green and burgundy plantings.

✔ Low & Dense - naturally compact at around 30-50cm tall, spreading about 1m wide.

✔ Outback Tough - exceptional drought, frost, heat and salt tolerance.

✔ Fast Ground Cover - smothers weeds and covers bare soil quickly.

✔ Clips Like Box - shears neatly into low silver hedges and shapes.

🏡 How to Use Aussie Flat Bush Saltbush in Your Garden

✅ Low Native Hedging - a water-wise silver alternative to box borders.

✅ Median Strips & Verges - proven in the toughest commercial landscapes.

✅ Foliage Contrast - silver drifts that make green and red plantings pop.

✅ Slopes & Embankments - dense cover that binds dry, exposed soil.

Easy Planting & Care Guide

  • Position: Full sun to part shade in almost any Australian climate, from coastal sand to frosty inland clay.
  • Spacing: Plant 60-80cm apart for a continuous low hedge or ground cover.
  • Best Planting Time: Autumn or spring, though it establishes readily most of the year.
  • Watering & Care: Water occasionally through the first summer, then it is virtually self-sufficient. Trim any time to keep it crisp.

❔ FAQs About Aussie Flat Bush Saltbush

Is it really that drought tolerant?
Yes. Rhagodia spinescens is a true arid-zone native, and established plants routinely survive on rainfall alone in dry regions.

Can I use it as a hedge?
Absolutely - it responds brilliantly to shearing. Our packs of 6 and 10 suit hedge runs and mass planting at 60-80cm spacing.

Does it flower?
It produces small, insignificant flowers followed by tiny red berries that birds enjoy, but it is grown almost entirely for its outstanding silver foliage.
