This is an attractive shrub (sometimes called Brachyglottis) with small silver leaves. It grows to about 2′6″ and flowers with masses of small yellow daisy like flowers. This plant is overdue for a trim when it has flowered.

GardenersTips

• It is evergreen or eversilver and can be grown as a foliage plant.
• Grow this ‘Sunshine’ variety as an informal hedge planting every couple of feet
• Prune to stimulate foliage and keep tidy. It will go woody quite easily
• Don’t bother collecting the seeds, propagate by semi-ripe or hardwood cuttings in summer or autumn
• Buy small plants and avoid ones that have a woody base
