Enchylaena tomentosa

Where to buy locally

Indigiscapes Native Nursery

Paten Park Native Nursery

Additional cultivation notes

Fruits and flowers year round. Very hardy and can tolerate saline or sandy soils, and some frost. Nice plant for rockeries.

Additional uses

A sweet tea can be made by soaking the berries in water. Leaves are also edible, but high in oxalates so best to blanch before eating.
