Further Information

Although Brachyglottis 'Sunshine' likes a sunny spot, it will also perform in light shade, and is fully hardy. It is fine in any soil other than wet soil or badly draining soil. Drought tolerant and good for windswept areas.

For more information on planting distances please see our planting density advice section.

Pruning Advice

Brachyglottis Senecio Sunshine should be trimmed once after flowering to maintain a bushy shape - see also our entire selection of flowering hedge plants. You can prune most evergreen shrubs just before growth starts in mid-Spring.

Brachyglottis Hedge Plants Description

Brachyglottis 'Sunshine' is a remarkably tough but cheerful evergreen shrub with unusual grey-green foliage and bright yellow daisy-like flowers in summer and early autumn, which is where the name 'Sunshine' derives from. Think summer holidays with the best of weather! Both the leaves and new stems are covered in fuzzy white growth which has an attractive sparkly quality for year-round interest.

Being fully tolerant of colder exposed climates and growing well in coastal areas, Brachyglottis 'Sunshine' makes a great standalone garden shrub in any location. However, it makes a particularly appealing informal flowering hedge which is suited to around 1m in height, so is perfect for anyone wanting a hardy but compact evergreen flowering hedge. Plant in full sun or partial shade in a well-drained but moist soil and enjoy all the delights this little shrub will bring to your garden all year round.

What are root types?

Root types explained.

Bare root
Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.
Pot grown
Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.
Root ball
Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.
Instant
Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hedging troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
