Hybrid Origin Gives 'Sabre' Its Unique Appeal

Pseudopanax 'Sabre' is a cross between Pseudopanax crassifolius (Lancewood) and Pseudopanax lessonii (Houpara), resulting in a tough yet visually refined shrub. It inherits the architectural form of Lancewood with broader, more ornamental foliage influenced by Houpara, making it both resilient and attractive.

Foliage And Form That Add Architectural Structure

This shrub grows upright to around 3 metres tall and 2 metres wide, with narrow, leathery, dark green leaves flushed with bronze. Its vertical growth habit and bold texture make it an excellent feature in modern garden designs, native plantings, and coastal gardens alike.

Flowers And Berries That Support Biodiversity

While the foliage is the standout, Pseudopanax 'Sabre' also contributes to garden ecology by producing small greenish flowers in summer. Female plants develop dark berries in autumn and winter that are a valuable food source for native birds such as tūī and kererū.

An Easy-Care Shrub For Sunny To Partly Shaded Sites

'Sabre' thrives in full sun or partial shade and handles a wide range of soil types, provided they’re free-draining. It performs well in coastal and windy environments and is drought-tolerant once established. Maintenance is minimal—just remove old or damaged leaves as needed.
