Default Olearia traversii

Thanks for looking.

I know nothing of gardening, but a place I visit on holiday is right
on the coast and it has a fairly good stock of Olearia.

I have attempted to grow a small hedge from cuttings with no success.
Either the grass swamps them, or they presumably get eaten by rabbits.

I have just ordered ten from Ebay, with the intention of growing them
in the midlands. they are around 500mm in 2Litre pots.

I was thinking of putting them into larger containers feeding them and
maybe when the light goes, move them indoors under a UV CFL.

When they reach 1 - 1.5 metres, I will plant them at the final
location.


Has anyone any suggestions as to the type of nutrient preferably for
speedy growth.

Does the masterplan sound good?

Regards
