Olearia is a family of trees and shrubs that are located throughout Australia, New Zealand and parts of New Guinea. This genus is located in the Aster family and has a medium size, with several species very rare and limited to small ranges, which is a common phenomenon that occurs in species that developed on the islands. Other species have been domesticated and grown in gardens around the world. Nursery and catalogs can usually provide seedlings or seeds, and sometimes it is possible to grow from cuts if ripe plants are available. Many plants are upright shrubs, while others have a creeping growth habit and some are classified as small trees.
