Woolbush (Phylica imberbis) is an indigenous South African filler known for its compact sprays of green, feathery foliage interspersed with woolly white buds. The combination of soft texture and muted tones provides natural fullness, making it a popular choice for bouquet fillers, mass-market retail floral lines, and straight-line bunches. Locally cultivated by South African growers, Woolbush adds subtle colour contrast and tactile interest, especially in mixed bouquets and seasonal ranges.
