Olearia iodochroa, commonly known as the violet daisy bush, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae and is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia. It is a shrub with branchlets densely covered with whitish hairs, narrowly egg-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base, and white or mauve, and cream-coloured, yellow or blue, daisy-like inflorescences.
This daisy bush can be grown from seed or from cuttings and is hardy in most soils if grown in full sun or part shade. It can be grown as a hedge if planted side-by-side, and kept pruned.
Olearia iodochroa grows on rocky outcrops in woodland and forest in elevated places from Bimberi Peak and Captains Flat in south-eastern New South Wales to the far east of Victoria.
