Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Pretty interesting evergreen small twiggy shrub from New Zealand which closely resembles Coprosma but is easily distinguished from that genus by its stems square in cross section as opposed to round. Small axillary paired white flowers in spring are a dusting of bright motes along the pale stems. One of the ultimate expressions in the small leafed dense thin twigged shrub genre. Best for mild gardens and we know of a plant thriving in Portland Oregon.

New Zealand shrub, to 5 ft tall or so, with dainty, mid-green leaves and mustard-yellow stems that beautifully accentuate the dark leaf petioles -- a most attractive effect. White, pendulous flowers appear in winter and early spring. An architectural plant with interesting color combinations and unusual texture for the garden. Best in dappled sun to shade in rich soil with some summer water. Evergreen in USDA zone 9 and upper zone 8; resprouts from the bottom of zone 8.
