Nursery contributed plant descriptions

It's hard to find a sturdier shrub for the sunny border than this bushy evergreen, to up to 8 ft tall in the garden, with leathery, lance-shaped and pointed, shiny leaves, dark green above and pale on the undersides and, in summer, huge corymbs of sweetly scented, white flowers. Full sun in well-drained, moderately fertile soil with little supplemental summer water once established. Makes a good, dense hedge. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8.

This evergreen shrub from New Zealand may reach 8' tall and wide. Smooth-margined green leaves are white underneath. It tends to assume an irregular but pleasing habit, and flowers in August in the Pacific Northwest. It is a little more shade tolerant than other Olearias, and very easy to grow. Hardy to at least 5 - 10 °F.
