twiggy tree daisy
Olearia virgata | twiggy tree daisy
A hardy evergreen shrub valued for its fine, twiggy growth habit and light, airy form. Small, rounded green leaves are held along dark brown stems, giving the plant a distinctive, textured appearance. In early summer it produces masses of small white, daisy-like flowers with a subtle fragrance that attract pollinators. Fast growing and resilient, this shrub is well suited to shelter planting, revegetation projects, and low-maintenance gardens. Its upright, twiggy structure makes it effective both as a backdrop species and when mass planted, where it adds movement, softness, and seasonal flowering to the landscape.
