Daisy Bush

Daisy Bush
(Olearia x haastii)

Olearia x haastii is a̴Ì?lovely, flowering, hardy evergreen species that's ideal for informal hedging.

The Olearia x haastii bush lavishly flowers in July and August, smothering itself in small white, gently fragranced flowers that have pretty, yellow centres- hence the name ‰ۡÌÝÌáDaisy.‰ۡó» It has a grey-green coloured foliage that can sometimes look almost blue-like, which gives this hedge a very distinctive, yet attractive look.

It may seem like a delicate plant, but the Daisy Bush is surprisingly a tough and hardy shrub with an average growth rate of 30cm per annum, meaning it can make a fantastic, stunning low border.

The Olearia x haastii is one of the few flowering hedging species that can tolerate coastal situations, as well as very wind sides. All it really needs is a sunny position, and to be placed in a fertile soil- as well as an annual feed and mulch once it has been pruned (to get the very best out of your Daisy Bush).

  • Growth height: Average (20-40cm per year)
  • Ideal height: 1.2m-2.5m Medium
  • Soil Type: Normal
  • Exposure:̴Ì?Coastal, Exposed, Inland, Sheltered
  • Aspect: Sun
  • Evergreen foliage? Yes

You should deadhead your Daisy Bush after the flowers begin to fade- do so using pruning shears. Prune the bush to shape in the middle/end of Spring.̴Ì?

When should I plant Daisy Bush hedging?

The best time to plant Olearia x Haastii is throughout autumn, when the weather is a little cooler.

How far apart do you plant Daisy Bush plants?

It is recommended that you space your plants around 40-60cm apart. You can go for around 3 plants per metre for a bushy hedge quite quickly, but if you're not too worried about how long it takes to form a good hedge, you can̴Ì?stick to around 2 per metre.

How to plant Olearia x Haastii:

Begin by digging a hole that is the same depth as the root ball of the plant, but around 2-3 times as wide.

Remove the root ball from the pot. Keeping the roots together, place the plant into the hole and make sure the base of the plant is just above ground level.̴Ì?

Re-fill the hole evenly, gently packing down as you go along, and remove any large stones. Continue to fill the hole up.̴Ì?

Water the whole area that was dug and backfilled, thoroughly and deeply. After this large watering sessions, keep the hedging moist (but not soaked) - give it one last big watering before temperatures reach freezing, or continue to water regularly throughout the summer (depending on when you plant).
