Spongotrichum suffruticosum, clustered daisy-bush, is a small sticky shrub or undershrub from south-eastern Australia that grows in swampy heathland. It is a native, rarely cultivated species, so care is best based on its wet-heath habitat.
Spongotrichum suffruticosum, commonly known as clustered daisy-bush, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae and is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia. It is a shrub or undershrub with scattered, linear, grass-like leaves and pink to white and yellow and pink, daisy-like inflorescences.
Clustered daisy-bush grows in heathland in swampy areas in the far south-east of South Australia, the south-west of Victoria near Glenisla, Casterton and Dergholm, and between Capertee and Wallerawang in New South Wales.
