Brachyglottis greyi (Daisy Bush)
Brachyglottis greyi, commonly known as Coastal Ragwort or Grey-leaved Ragwort, is a native New Zealand shrub growing up to 2 metres tall and wide. It features soft, silvery-grey foliage with a velvety texture, adding striking colour contrast to gardens. Bright yellow daisy-like flowers bloom in late spring to summer, attracting native bees and butterflies. This hardy shrub thrives in coastal and dry, well-drained soils, tolerating wind, salt spray, and drought. Brachyglottis greyi is ideal for coastal planting, erosion control, and naturalistic landscapes, offering year-round interest and resilience in challenging garden conditions.
