Brachyglottis (Dunedin Group) ‘Sunshine’, Asteraceae

This beautiful evergreen shrub was selected as one of the species to decorate the green areas around my neighbourhood, where its lush foliage, silvery as if always covered in frost, is a big eye-catcher. I love that fuzziness, and the leaves remind me of sage, which probably makes me like the plant even more, as I love that herb! Unfortunately I decided to take photos when most of the flowers were already going to seed heads, otherwise the yellow daisies would have provided a much more striking contrast against the foliage than what you see here, later on in the season. 

I have learnt that this cultivar is often missold as B. greyi or B. laxifolia, while it is actually an hybrid resulting from crossings between B. greyi, B. laxifolia, and B. compacta created in New Zealand, where the plants are endemic.
