Corokia ‘Bronze King’ is a handsome, NZ native shrub featuring bronze-dark green foliage that deepens in colour through winter. Small and yellow, mildly fragrant flowers are borne in spring and are followed by masses of small, red berries in autumn which attract birds. It typically grows to 3 m tall and 2 m wide and can be trimmed as necessary. Best results with this shrub are achieved when it is planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. It tolerates wind, frost, cool climates, coastal conditions, and dry periods once established. Corokia ‘Bronze King’ is commonly trimmed into a hedge but is also great for including in mixed plantings, providing a colour contrast, or for growing in challenging areas.
