Commonly known as the Coastal Tree Daisy, this is a fast growing shrub with impressive flowering. This NZ native features petite, white flowers in late summer which have a pleasant vanilla fragrance.

The Coastal Tree Daisy is commonly included in a mixed or native planting, trimmed into a hedge, or used as a lovely backdrop for smaller plants.
