An aromatic, evergreen shrub native to South Africa, White Diosma is a dense, bushy shrub with soft green, heather-like foliage that releases a pleasant citrus scent when touched. During late winter and spring, the shrub becomes covered with masses of small white, star-shaped flowers that give it a light, delicate appearance.

As the flowers age they can sometimes take on a pale pink tinge creating a lovely soft contrast against the fresh green foliage.

This hardy species thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, though it can also tolerate light shade. Once established, it is both drought and frost tolerant, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of garden conditions. Naturally rounded in shape, White Diosma requires little to no pruning, though it can be lightly trimmed after flowering to maintain a tidy form if desired.

It is well suited to use as a low hedge, border plant, or feature in coastal and waterwise gardens. The flowers attract bees and butterflies, while the fragrant foliage adds an extra sensory dimension to any planting scheme. With its resilience and year-round appeal, White Diosma is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, aromatic shrub with a long flowering season.
