Short flower spikes carrying pink and white flowers are borne amidst the lush and glossy, dark green leaves. This NZ native grows with a rounded shape to about 70 cm tall and 1 m wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It is a hardy shrub that will tolerate coastal conditions, dry periods, cool climates, and frost, though protection from heavy frosts is recommended. “Icing Sugar” is ideal for including in a mixed planting, mass planting either as a groundcover or on a bank, adding to borders, including in cottage gardens, or planting around outdoor living areas.
