Olive Herb or Holy Flax is an aromatic, evergreen flowering shrub in the Asteraceae (Daisy) family. The plant is dense and compact and has narrow, green leaves and dense, button-like yellow flowerheads. It is distantly related to rosemary, which it bears a mild resemblance to. Olive Herb thrives in full, hot sun, is drought-tolerant, and can survive at temperatures as low as -17° C. It is commonly used as a ground cover or ornamental plant, although plants get leggy and open-centered as they age.
