New Zealand is home to many plants with outstanding structural form, most of which remain underutilized by those of us residing in the Northern Hemisphere. This is one of the best, having grey evergreen leaves are held on zigzagging upright stems to 6' or more. Also, it is very adaptable, tolerating extreme heat and cold to at least 10 °F.
