Corokia Tutti Frutti is a hardy, NZ native shrub grown for its lovely foliage and interesting form. It grows as a mass of wiry, tangled, silver-grey branches carrying small, multi-coloured foliage. The leaves are a mix of yellow, brown, and red. Small, star like, yellow flowers which are mildly fragrant are produced in summer as it grows to 1.2 m tall and 1 m wide. Corokia Tutti Frutti is commonly used as low to medium sized hedge but also makes a great addition to mixed plantings, or for planting on those difficult to grow sites.
