Anaphalioides bellidioides, Hells Bells, or New Zealand Everlasting Daisy is endemic to the North, South and Stewart Islands. It is wide spread in mountain regions from East Cape to Mt Taranaki southwards. It is found from sea-level to 1600m asl, in scrub, tussock grassland, herbfields, river-beds stony places, road banks and rocky outcrops. It is a soft herbaceous densely mat-forming evergreen perennial growing to 60cm across and 15cm high, with slender stems, that are cottony-hairy when young, becoming smooth and reddish. The leaves are 5-10mm long, obovate to narrowly, round tipped and mucronate (leaf apex tipped with short abrupt point on the end of the midvein). The under side of the leaves are white felted. It has white strawflower, daisy-like everlasting flower heads (1.5-3cm across) that appear from October to February. They grow in sunny moist, gravelly soil, but can also grow quite well in drier semi-shade. It is a worthwhile plant that has great use in the garden as a groundcover, or as edging along a pathway, especially in a rock garden, when allowed to trail down over rocks.
