Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Its warm-hearted willingness to share so abundantly its small deliciously vanilla-scented daisies during spring-summer makes this 6-9' x 4-6' shrub a fine border accent or, with its small dark-green (yellow beneath) leaves, a hedge. S/M (not dry)

Looking nothing like most of the other Olearias we offer, this species has very tiny, narrow leaves with yellow stems. We have yet to see it bloom, but the foliage is the best part anyway. It eventually makes an open shrub to about 4' tall and wide. It contrasts well with many other plants and is a great container subject. It is easily grown in sun or part shade on average to well-drained soil, and moderately drought tolerant. It has been reliably hardy in Seattle for many years, tolerating at least 10°F.
