Olearia phlogopappa

Description

Common Names: Tasmanian Olearia, dusty daisy bush, Alpine daisy bush.

Native to Tasmania, New south Wales, and Victoria. A tough and gorgeous evergreen shrub. The lovely toothed silvery grey leaves look just as good with frost on them as when they are smothered in pure white daisy flowers from early spring. Bees and our NZ native admiral butterflies (kahukura and kahukowhai) love the flowers. Very hardy.
