Brachyglottis Dunedin Hybrid

Brachyglottis Dunedin Hybrid is a variety of NZ daisy bush prized for their vibrant yellow flowers and striking silvery-grey foliage. This evergreen shrub combines the best traits of the Brachyglottis genus to create a resilient and visually appealing plant. The bright yellow, daisy-like flowers bloom profusely in late spring to summer, creating a cheerful display against the soft, woolly leaves.

Ideal for borders, coastal gardens, and rock gardens, Brachyglottis Dunedin Hybrid thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It is highly tolerant of poor soils, drought, and salty conditions, making it an excellent choice for seaside planting and low-maintenance gardens. Space plants approximately 0.5 to 1 metre apart to allow for proper air circulation and to accommodate their spreading growth habit.

At maturity, Brachyglottis Dunedin Hybrid reaches a height and spread of about 0.6 to 1 metre. Its compact, rounded form and contrasting foliage add texture and colour to garden landscapes year-round. This hybrid is perfect for adding a splash of brightness to any garden, providing both visual interest and practical resilience in challenging growing conditions.

Trimming: Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushy growth. Remove any dead or damaged branches as needed.

Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to promote additional flowers and keep the plant looking tidy.

Fertilising: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring to support healthy growth. Avoid over-fertilising as it can lead to excessive foliage growth.

Watering: Water regularly during the establishment phase and in dry periods. Ensure the soil is well-drained to prevent waterlogging.

Pest Control: Watch for aphids and caterpillars. If detected, treat with insecticidal soap or horticultural oil.

Disease Management: Be vigilant for signs of powdery mildew and leaf spot. Ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering. Apply appropriate fungicides if necessary and remove any infected plant material promptly.
