A hybrid daisy bush from New Zealand, Olearia x oleifolia Waikariensis is a medium-sized, evergreen shrub with an upright, rounded habit, particularly useful in coastal gardens as it’s tolerant of salty winds. The grey-green leaves with a tan midrib and whitish undersides look rather like olive leaves. Prolific clusters of daisy-like, white flowers are borne in summer for a long period; they are attractive to pollinators, and have a pleasant, subtle, slightly musky scent. Daisy bush Waikariensis is an easy, low-maintenance shrub, which can also be used as an informal hedge.
