Olearia paniculata, commonly known as Akiraho or golden akeake, is a hardy evergreen New Zealand native shrub or small tree valued for its dense growth and attractive foliage. It has small glossy green leaves with a distinctive golden underside that adds colour and texture year-round, along with clusters of tiny cream-white fragrant flowers that bloom in summer and attract pollinators. Extremely tolerant of coastal conditions, wind, drought, and trimming, it is widely used for hedging, shelter, screening, and native garden planting. It grows well in full sun to partial shade and adapts to a wide range of well-drained soils.
