Description:
This natural Olearia hybrid comes to us from the area of Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaast Pass in New Zealand's Southern Alps. Forming an irregular, rounded shrub to about 4' high and slightly wider, it haas rather small green leaves under 1" long, with white undersides. Its profuse show of small white flowers in mid to late summer makes the plant look like a white cloud against a black backdrop. It's moderately drought tolerant, thriving in full sun or just a little shade. It haasta be one of the nicest Olearias in cultivation.
