Olearia paniculata (golden akeake)

Olearia paniculata, commonly known as Golden Akeake, is a dense, fast-growing NZ native shrub ideal for hedging, shelter and tough landscape sites. Its upright, bushy form and golden-green foliage create a bright, structural backdrop in the garden. In summer it produces creamy white, vanilla-scented flowers that add subtle fragrance and attract pollinators.

Reaching around 4m tall and 2.5m wide, Golden Akeake thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers free-draining soils. It is intolerant of wet sites but excels in dry, exposed and coastal conditions, making it a tried and true choice for challenging environments across Queenstown and Central Otago. Evergreen, hardy and low-maintenance, it forms an excellent screen or clipped hedge.

Choose Olearia paniculata for a fast-establishing, resilient NZ native shrub that delivers golden foliage, fragrant summer flowers and outstanding performance in sunny, free-draining sites.
