Frosted Chocolate Corokia

The Frosted Chocolate Corokia is a hardy, NZ native shrub that feature lovely foliage and an interesting form. It grows as a mass of wiry, tangled, silver-grey branches carrying small, brown-green leaves. Small, star like, mildly fragrant, yellow flowers which are produced in summer and are followed by small, red-orange berries which are great for attracting birds. This evergreen typically grows to 2 m tall and 1 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, though it will tolerate wind, frost, coastal conditions, and extended dry periods once established. The Frosted Chocolate Corokia is commonly trimmed into a hedge but also works well in mixed plantings, using as a backdrop for smaller plants, or planting to border an entrance.

Corokia Frosted Chocolate Hedge

A Corokia Frosted Chocolate hedge begins with getting the correct plant spacing. To achieve a dense hedge quickly, the plants should be spaced 45 cm apart. If you space them wider the hedge will take longer to fill in and become wider overall. The best Corokia Frosted Chocolate hedges are lightly trimmed during spring and again in autumn.
