Coleonema album (White Confetti Bush) is a dense, aromatic South African evergreen shrub growing 1.5–2m tall, popular for its fine, needle-like leaves and masses of small (6-7mm) white flowers from August to November. Ideal for coastal, sunny, and well-drained locations, it is drought-tolerant, attracts pollinators, and thrives in fynbos gardens.
