Olearia traversii variegata

Queenstown Nursery

 

Olearia traversii 'Variegata' is a striking variegated form of the popular Chatham Island Akeake, offering the same toughness and fast establishment with added ornamental appeal. Its green leaves are edged with creamy white, giving the shrub a bright, textured look that stands out beautifully in hedges, screens and mixed native plantings. Dense, upright and evergreen, it forms a clean, structured shape ideal for landscaping.

Reaching around 5m tall and 3m wide, this variegated akeake thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers free-draining soils. Hardy and tolerant of dry, windy and coastal conditions, it performs reliably across Queenstown and Central Otago, though it is best kept out of very wet sites. Its strong structure and variegated foliage make it an excellent choice for a standout hedge or feature screen.

Choose Olearia traversii 'Variegata' for a hardy, eye-catching NZ native that delivers bright variegated foliage, strong form and dependable performance in sunny, free-draining sites.
