Summary

Vittadinia cuneata, commonly known as Woolly New Holland Daisy, is a perennial herb that can behave as an annual in some climates, native to open grasslands and sclerophyll forests in Southeastern Australia. It typically grows to a height of 0.2-1 feet (0.06-0.3 meters) and spreads out to 2-4 feet (0.6-1.2 meters). This plant forms a low mound of foliage with fine, woolly hairs giving it a soft texture. It produces a profusion of daisy-like flowers in shades of pink, purple, blue, and yellow from spring through fall, which are highly attractive to pollinators.

Woolly New Holland Daisy is valued for its extended flowering period and its ability to thrive in poor soils, making it an excellent choice for rockeries, borders, and as a ground cover in sunny locations. It is drought-tolerant once established, requiring minimal water, and prefers well-drained soils. Full sun is essential for optimal blooming. While generally free from serious pests and diseases, it can occasionally suffer from fungal issues in humid conditions. This plant is also appreciated for its use in cottage gardens and naturalistic plantings, where its informal appearance and vibrant flowers can be showcased.CC BY-SA 4.0
