Pachystegia insignis commonly known as the Marlborough Rock Daisy, is a distinctive and highly ornamental New Zealand native. This low growing evergreen shrub forms a compact mound of leathery dark green leaves with white felted undersides, creating strong year-round texture and contrast in the garden.

In summer it produces unique drumstick-like buds that open into bold, white daisy-like flowers, attracting pollinators and adding visual interest. Naturally adapted to exposed, rocky environments, this hardy species thrives in full sun and well-drained soil making it an strong choice for coastal gardens, rockeries or dry landscapes.

Low-maintenance and tolerant of tough conditions, Pachystegia insignis is ideal for gardeners seeking an attractive, sun-loving native that performs reliably in challenging sites.
