It is native to Australia (all 6 states) and New Zealand, and also naturalized on the Pacific Coast of the United States (Washington, Oregon, and California), as well as parts of Britain and Ireland.
Senecio minimus is a species that is found not only in New Zealand and Australia but all over the world. It is naturally occurring in the US in states including California, Oregon and Washington. It is found in coastal parts of England. This species is also found in Australia in South-east Queensland, New South Wales, Tasmania, as well as parts of southwest and southeast Australia. Senecio minimus is indigenous to New Zealand and is found in the coastal areas around the Chatham Islands and Stewart Island. The species has been found in Malbrough, Nelson, Canterbury, Westland and Southland in the South Island of New Zealand as well as in North and South Auckland, Taranaki, Gisborne, Hawkes Bay and Wellington in the North Island.
