Corokia

  • Geentys Green

    This NZ native is a compact shrub covered in early summer with star shaped yellow flowers followed by orange berries in late summer. Corokia are fantastic as a hedging plant with dense easily trimmed foliage, tolerating coastal, exposed situations. Evergreen. Sun to semi-shade. It is an ideal plant for low hedges or as a background shrub and looks equally good in native gardens as well as used in formal gardens where it can be trained into hedges. It needs full sun and is best in a dry situation. Particularly hardy to dry, windy locations.
