Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This very dense little New Zealand shrub daisy is grown much more for its glossy, brownish green, undulate- margined foliage and tomentose (fuzzy) undersides than for its summer tiny yellow flowers. Handsome in the garden reaching to 5 ft or so. Prefers full sun and regular summer water. The hardiest parent of the Dunedin Group; frost hardy in upper USDA zone 7.
