Olearia solandri

Coastal tree daisy

Endemic. Inhabiting coastal areas of the North Island and top of the South Island this fast-growing shelter and hedging plant is ideal for dry, exposed sites.

The Coastal tree daisy forms a shrub up to 4m though in exposed places it will remain a small and bushy. Dense and hardy it can be clipped into an attractive hedge with distinctive square yellow sticky twigs bearing clusters of small dark green leaves which are white underneath and abundant small vanilla-scented white flowers in late summer developing into fluffy seeds. Full sun/semi shade.
