corokia cotoneaster hedge
A Corokia cotoneaster hedge (Wire Netting Bush) is a standout choice for New Zealand gardens looking for year-round structure, resilience, and subtle native beauty. This uniquely textured shrub forms tidy, dense hedges that offer shelter from wind, privacy, and a striking contrast in both formal and informal landscapes. With its wiry, zig-zagging stems and soft silver-green leaves, the Corokia cotoneaster hedge thrives in tough conditions where other hedges may struggle—making it an ideal solution for exposed coastal sites, urban gardens, or rural boundaries.
Corokia cotoneaster
Corokia cotoneaster, commonly known as the Wire-Netting Bush, features tough, dark stems that give the plant an appearance akin to wire mesh. This NZ native carries small, grey leaves with the undersides of the leaves covered in downy, white hairs. In spring, yellow star-shaped flowers are borne in abundance and result in yellow-orange berries. It typically grows to 2 m tall and the same wide but can be trimmed as necessary. Corokia cotoneaster makes for a great shelter plant and clips into an excellent hedge. It is a fantastic plant for adding contrast and variety to the garden.
