Meet the plant
Akepiro

Akepiro is one of New Zealand's tree daisies, a hardy shrub whose leathery leaves are dark green above and clothed in soft buff to rusty felt beneath. In summer it opens sprays of small white daisy flowers with yellow centres, catching the light along cliff edges and open forest margins.

Read more

Akepiro (Olearia furfuracea) belongs to the daisy family and is one of the shrubby tree daisies of the North Island, found through the northern half of the island. It favours coastal cliffs, headlands and open forest edges, forming a rounded shrub or small tree commonly two to five metres high. The species epithet furfuracea means 'scurfy', a nod to the flaky, felted underside of each leaf. Clusters of small white daisy flowers with yellow centres appear through summer, followed by fluffy seed heads carried on the wind. Salt-hardy and wind-firm, it holds exposed ground and offers shelter where little else will grow.

Frequently Asked Questions

 Explore Help Center
What is a stock flower essence?

A stock essence is the concentrated form of a single flower essence. It can be taken directly from the bottle or used to create a personalised blend.

First Light® stock essences are available as individual New Zealand native flower essences and combination essences, so you can choose and combine the essences to support how you are feeling or what you need help with.

How do I choose the right flower essence for me?

Start with how you are feeling and what you would most like support with right now.

You can explore keywords and information on each flower essence page, use the repertory to browse essences by feeling or need, or use the Constitutional Essence for a sense of inner balance and alignment.

If you would like a personal recommendation you can send us a message or book in for a no obligation free consultation.

How many essences can I combine?

Up to eight essences from No 1 to No 184 can be combined in a single personalised blend. No 0 Black Orchid can be added to any blend as a ninth essence.

This allows you to select a combination of essences to support the different emotional, energetic or personal growth needs.

Do flower essences contain alcohol?

Yes, generally flower essences contain a small amount of brandy, ethanol or grape as a natural preservative. To reduce the alcohol taste, add your drops to water.

How long does it take to notice a difference with flower essences?

It depends on the essence and the person. With an essence like Crisis Support for emergency or emotional first aid situations some people notice a difference within 15 to 20 minutes. Most people feel a shift within a few days. In general it takes about one month for changes to occur, and another month to integrate them.
