Corokia 'Silver Ghost' Details

Corokia ‘Silver Ghost’ is a hardy, NZ native shrub grown for its lovely foliage and interesting form. It grows as a mass of wiry, tangled, silver-grey branches carrying small, brown-green leaves. Small, star like, yellow flowers, which are mildly fragrant, are produced in summer. These are followed by small red-orange berries that are great for attracting birds. It typically grows to 1.2 m tall and 1 m wide, and can be trimmed as necessary. Best growth is achieved when it is planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. This hardy plant and can tolerate strong winds, frost, coastal conditions, and dry soils once established. Corokia ‘Silver Ghost’ is commonly trimmed into a hedge but also makes a great addition to a mixed planting. It is also well suited for growing on those ‘difficult to grow’ sites.
