Olearia tomentosa, commonly known as the toothed daisy-bush,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae and is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia.
It is a spreading shrub with egg-shaped leaves, the edges toothed or lobed, and blue or white and yellow, daisy-like inflorescences.
Olearia tomentosa is a spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of up to about 2 m (6 ft 7 in) and has its branchlets densely covered with rust-coloured hairs.
[6] The specific epithet (tomentosa) means "covered with matted hairs", referring to the underside of the leaves.
[9] Not commonly seen in cultivation, O. tomentosa grows in soil with good drainage in a sunny or part-shaded location.
