Olearia cheesmanii, commonly known as Cheeseman’s daisy bush or streamside tree daisy, is a fast-growing evergreen New Zealand native valued for its hardy nature and attractive foliage. It features narrow dark green leaves with soft silvery undersides and produces masses of small white daisy-like flowers with yellow centres during spring and early summer. Naturally found along streamsides and rocky gullies, it thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. Highly tolerant of wind and coastal conditions, it is an excellent choice for native gardens, screening, revegetation projects, and attracting pollinators.
