Olearia phlogopappa 'Spring Bling'
daisy bush
- Position: full sun
- Soil: fertile, well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: average
- Flowering period: May to June
- Hardiness: fully hardy
The aromatic, evergreen foliage of this showy, low maintenance shrub, is virtually smothered with the white, daisy-like flowers that appear in late spring and early summer. Compact enough for the patio, its dazzling display of blooms also makes it a stand-out option for the mixed or shrub border. - Garden care: Remove the faded flowerheads using garden shears after they have faded, trimming back any branches that spoil the symmetry of the plant. After pruning, apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant.
