Olearia nummularifolia

Olearia nummularifolia, commonly called Coin-leaved Tree Daisy, is a New Zealand native evergreen shrub prized for its distinctive architectural form and delicate spring blooms. This compact cultivar reaches 3–6 feet in height with a dense, multi-branched structure and characteristic stiff branching that creates a striking geometric silhouette. The foliage showcases tiny, coin-shaped leaves with leathery texture and silvery-green to yellow-green colouration, often displaying a subtle brownish underside and slightly recurved margins. Small white daisy-like flowers emerge at branch terminals during warmer months, providing valuable nectar for native pollinators and beneficial insects. An excellent choice for coastal gardens and contemporary landscapes seeking year-round structural interest.
