Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The genus Olearia has remarkable variety: this species from New Zealand features exceptionally narrow leaves, green on the top and white on the bottom. If you are one of those gardeners who has caught the 'big leaves bug,' you will appreciate the contrast this fine textured plant provides. Branches arch gracefully, providing an exotic look. Very vigorous and easy to grow, it will thrive in partial shade or sun and may eventually reach 12' or more with equal spread. Hardy to about 10 °F, and prefers a cool climate. Evergreen shrub.

Intriguing "Shrub Daisy" from the South Island in New Zealand. If you've hankered for a willow but lament your dry conditions, then weep no more. All the grace and texture of a small willow with the bonus of small white flowers and deer resistance. Contrast with dark or big foliage.
