About

Olearia ramulosa, commonly known as twiggy daisy-bush, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae and is endemic to south-eastern Australia. It is a shrub with narrowly elliptic, linear or narrowly egg-shaped leaves, and pale blue, mauve or white and yellow, daisy-like inflorescences.

How to grow it

Olearia ramulosa can be propagated by seeds or cuttings of new growth that has hardened. It can be grown in dry or temperate climates and is frost-hardy in sunny or part-shaded spots. Pruning can invigorate it and it can be grown as a low hedge.

Where it grows

Olearia ramulosa grows in forest, woodland and scrub, and is widespread and common from south-eastern Queensland, through New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and eastern Victoria to south-eastern South Australia and Tasmania.
