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 macrodonta
Height: 3m;  Spread: 1.5m
Tree Daisy (Shrub)
Attractive grey holly-like foliage. Flowers (daisy-like) in summer. Prefers cool well drained conditions.

I believe this species is now regarded as a natural hybrid between O.Arborescens and O.Illicifolia.
