Coastal Tree Daisy
Tākupurenga

Coastal Tree Daisy (Olearia solandriis a hardy native shrub well adapted to exposed coastal and riparian environments.

Its white flowers provide an important food source for native pollinators, while its dense growth offers shelter for birds and helps protect more vulnerable plants from wind and exposure.

This resilient species is particularly valuable in restoration projects where shelter, biodiversity and habitat creation are important objectives.

Its ability to tolerate wind and salt spray also makes it a useful addition to many Waikawa Beach gardens.
