Pimelea imbricata is a small Australian shrub of the Thymelaeaceae family, native to south-western Western Australia and south-eastern South Australia, with compact clusters of white or pink flowers. It suits well-drained, low-maintenance native gardens and grows naturally on granite outcrops and in winter-wet swamps.
