Olearia traversii 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[75, 182, 200]. This species is not very hardy in Britain[182], plants have succeeded outdoors at Kew but not at other inland sites[11]. When grown by the coast, plants have also succeeded as far north as Scarborough on the east coast[11, 75]. Flowers best in years following long hot summers[200]. Very tolerant of severe pruning, plants can be pruned right back into old wood in order to promote fresh growth[200]. It is best to trim new growth by 50% each year for the first three years after planting in order to promote basal shoots[29, 75]. Any pruning is best done in the spring[11].
