Olearia argophylla

This very attractive, fast-growing small tree or tall shrub grows to 10 m high.

The large leaves are shiny dark green above and white below with a musky scent.

Clusters of small, white flowers in spring develop into and fluffy white dispersal bristles with seeds in summer.

This is the largest of the Olearia species forming an attractive flowering and seeding display in spring and early summer.
