Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This evergreen, beach shrub, a New Zealand native, grows quickly to 5 ft tall and eventually to 10 ft or so with rounded, leathery leaves and, in spring, inconspicuous white flowers. Good as a single specimen or as a dense hedge in full sun to light shade plus well-drained soil and average summer water. This form from the University of Washington Arboretum, a long-term survivor of harsh winters, is particularly wind resistant. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8.
