Olearia axillaris ‘Mini’ is a charming, dwarf form of the popular coastal shrub native to Australia. Known for its compact size and soft, silvery-gray foliage, ‘Mini’ is ideal for low borders, rockeries, or container gardening. In spring and summer, it produces small, daisy-like white flowers that add a splash of delicate color and attract native pollinators. Its hardy, drought-tolerant nature makes it a low-maintenance choice for coastal gardens or xeriscapes.
