Corokia ‘Pipsqueak’ is a hardy, NZ native shrub grown for its lovely foliage and interesting form. It grows as a mass of wiry, tangled, silver-grey stems carrying small, olive-green leaves. Small, mildly fragrant, yellow flowers are produced in summer and are followed by small, red-orange berries in autumn which are great for attracting birds. This evergreen typically grows to 1.2 m tall and 1 m wide and can be trimmed as necessary. Best results with this variety are achieved when it is grown in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site, though it tolerates wind, frost, coastal conditions, and dry periods once established. Corokia ‘Pipsqueak’ is commonly trimmed into a hedge but also makes a fine addition to a mixed planting, and is well suited to using on those ‘difficult to grow’ sites.
