Lophomyrtus Little Star Details

Lophomyrtus Little Star is a NZ native shrub grown for its petite and colourful foliage. The small leaves emerge with a pink flush and age become green with a cream edge. The foliage is held densely on this evergreen which typically grows to 1.5 m tall and 1 m wide. It performs best when planted in full sun on a well-drained site with good soil moisture, though it is tolerant of frost, cool climates, coastal conditions, and dry periods once established. Lophomyrtus Little Star is commonly included in a mixed planting, used as a backdrop for smaller plants, planted around the pool or barbecue area, or trimmed into a hedge.
