Spring Bling Olearia 140MM

Olearia phlogopappa 'Spring Bling'

I am Spring Bling Olearia. My family originated from Victoria, NSW and Tasmania.

Habit Shrub - Low Maintenance
Plant family Asteraceae
I am a stunning native shrub that puts on one of the most spectacular flowering displays of any native plant in my size. My fragrant silver-green foliage is attractive year-round, but come spring and summer I transform into a breathtaking mound of small white daisy-like flowers that cover me so completely you can barely see my leaves. I am heat, drought and frost tolerant, performing reliably across a wide range of Australian climates with very little fuss. Use me as a flowering border, a compact informal hedge, a feature in a native garden, or in pots and containers where my seasonal flower display will be the star of the show. My flowers also attract bees and other beneficial insects to the garden. A light trim after flowering will keep me neat and encourage a fresh flush of growth. I need no special feeding or fussing to perform at my best, making me an ideal choice for gardeners who want maximum impact with minimum effort.
