Summer planting
Contrary to popular opinion, summer planting is fine as long as adequate water is provided throughout any prolonged dry periods. This allows you to take advantage of increased summer growth.
Olearia lineata
Height: 4m;  Spread: 3m
Tree Daisy (Shrub)
One of the best native plants for hedging with fine grey, willowy foliage. Fast growing and hardy, forming a graceful tree on the margins of steep river gorges, and amongst rock outcrops.

This is the true form of O.liniata.The Dartoni plant i believe is a cross between this and O.traversorium.

A really magnificent looking small tree.It likes a well drained situation and can handle a semi shaded spot.It's weeping form i think would suit most gardens as a different look.It is very hardy.
