Olearia haastii, commonly known as the New Zealand Daisy Bush, is a tough, evergreen shrub admired for its dense, compact habit and glossy grey-green foliage. In summer, it bursts into masses of small, white, daisy-like flowers with yellow centres, creating a cloud of colour that attracts bees and pollinators. Its strong form and salt-tolerant nature make it ideal for coastal gardens, mixed borders, hedging, or low-maintenance screening. Supplied as an extra large, well-established shrub approx. 4–5ft tall in a 7.5-litre pot, it’s perfect for providing instant impact and structure in any outdoor space.
