description_en: Genus of about 130 species of evergreen shrubs and small trees, and some herbaceous perennials, from a wide variety of habitats, including coastal areas, bogs, forest, riverbanks, and mountain scrub, in Australia. They have generally alternate, occasionally clustered, simple, usually leathery leaves, and are cultivated for their daisy-like flowerheads, often with colourful ray-florets, borne singly, or in corymbs or panicles, in spring or summer. Olearias are suitable for planting in a shrub border, or in a sheltered site if not fully hardy. Some, such as O. x haastii, O. macrodonta, and O. traversii, may be grown as hedges and windbreaks, particularly in coastal areas. In frost-prone climates, grow tender species in a cool or temperate greenhouse.
