Olearia lineata, commonly known as the tree daisy or narrow-leaved daisy bush, is a graceful New Zealand native shrub recognised for its fine, narrow foliage and softly textured appearance. Its slender green leaves have pale undersides that create movement and contrast in the wind, while clusters of small white daisy-like flowers appear in summer, attracting birds and pollinators. Hardy and fast growing, it tolerates coastal conditions, wind, frost, and poor soils, making it ideal for shelter planting, native gardens, screening, and revegetation projects. It grows best in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil.
