Summary
Olearia lineata, commonly known as Small Leaved Tree Daisy, is an evergreen shrub native to the dry subalpine and alpine regions of the South Island of New Zealand. It typically grows to a height and width of 4-6 feet (1.2-1.8 meters). This plant is characterized by its small, narrow leaves and its wiry, interlacing branching habit, which gives it a distinctive texture in the landscape. The white, daisy-like flowers bloom in spring and summer, adding a modest yet appealing display to gardens.
Small Leaved Tree Daisy is valued for its drought tolerance and its ability to thrive in poor soils, making it a suitable choice for xeriscaping and rock gardens. It is also used for hedging and as a windbreak in coastal areas due to its resilience to wind. In cultivation, it requires full sun exposure and well-drained soil, and it is relatively low-maintenance once established. While it is not prone to many diseases, root rot can occur in poorly drained soils.CC BY-SA 4.0
