Olearia avicenniifolia Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Succeeds in any well-drained moderately fertile soil in full sun[182, 200]. Thrives in a chalky soil[182] but prefers a light loam or peaty soil[11]. Very tolerant of maritime exposure[11, 75]. Tolerates atmospheric pollution[200]. This species is not very hardy outside the milder western and southwestern maritime areas of Britain[1], tolerating temperatures down to about -10°c[184]. Another report says that it is hardy to about -15°c[200]. Very slow growing in Britain[75], the plants generally only reach 2 - 3 metres tall in cultivation in this country. Plants can be pruned right back into old wood in order to promote fresh growth[200]. Any pruning is best done in the spring[11]. Some named forms have been developed for their ornamental value[182]. Flowers best in years following long hot summers[200]. The flowers are sweetly scented[184]. For further Olearia avicenniifolia gardening information |
