Corokia 'Emerald and Jade'
Corokia 'Emerald and Jade' is a hardy, NZ native shrub grown for its lovely foliage and interesting form. It grows as a mass of wiry, tangled branches carrying small, olive-green leaves held on silver-grey stems. Small, mildly fragrant, yellow flowers are borne in summer and are followed by small, red-orange berries. This evergreen typically grows to 1.2 m tall and 75 cm wide, responding well to trimming, which encourages new growth. Corokia 'Emerald and Jade' is commonly trimmed into a hedge, added to a mixed planting, used as a backdrop for smaller plants, or planted to border an entrance.
