Phebalium laevigatum is a slender, erect shrub from Western Australia, growing 0.35 to 1.2 m tall with small linear leaves and white or yellow flower clusters from June to October. It is a wild species of dry eucalypt scrub rather than a common garden plant, so growing it means matching its arid, well-drained native conditions.
