Quoya verbascina
Golden bush is a woolly-leaved, erect native shrub from Western Australia's dry shrubland and kwongan heath, grown for its yellow-woolly flowers. The key to growing it is full sun and very well-drained soil, as it tolerates drought but dislikes wet feet.
Quoya verbascina, commonly known as golden bush, is a flowering plant in the mint family Lamiaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. It is an erect shrub with its branches and leaves densely covered with woolly hairs. The leaves are often oblong but very variable in shape and the flowers are pinkish-white with pink spots inside and are surrounded by yellow woolly sepals.
Golden bush mostly grows in shrubland or in kwongan, often on road verges. It is mostly found between Carnarvon and Moora in the Avon Wheatbelt, Carnarvon, Geraldton Sandplains, Murchison, Swan Coastal Plain and Yagoo biogeographic regions.
