Are you growing olearia in Maine, but don’t know when they’ll bloom?
Getting your Olearia to bloom is not as easy as it seems.
Here’s why:
- Olearia have a small window when they bloom and still look great.
So if they bloom too early they may die or not last as long. And if they bloom too late they may have small blooms that don’t last long.
Today, I’m going to teach you the ideal time for olearia to bloom in Maine:

When Do Olearia Bloom in Maine?
As you may have already guessed, there are two main factors that determine when Olearia will bloom: where your Olearia are planted & weather (time).
Bloom Time Depends on Where Your Olearia Are Planted!!!
When your Olearia will bloom will depend on exactly where it is planted in your yard or garden
In general, expect the following:
- If a olearia is planted in an area of your yard that receives full sun it will bloom around the same time every year or up to two weeks early due to warm weather and extra sunlight.
- If a olearia is planted in an area of your yard that received partial sun it will bloom around the same time every year.
- If a olearia is planted in an area of your yard that receives shade and is not protected from wind or rain it will bloom anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks later than its average time.
