Lophomyrtus bullata Details

Lophomyrtus bullata is a large, NZ native shrub growing up to 8 m tall and 2 m wide. It features thick, leathery, glossy, blistered leaves which are broad and oval shaped. The leaves are dark green- yellow, mottled, and may be spotted with red, maroon or purple black. In summer, plants produce small, cream-coloured flowers which are followed by dark, red-purple berries. Best performance with this shrub is achieved when planted in full sun on a well-drained site with good soil moisture which will give the highest level of mottling. It is tolerant of frost, cool climates, and dry periods once established. Lophomyrtus bullata is commonly used as a stunning backdrop for smaller plants, for screening, in a native planting, to contrast with other plant colours, or included in a mixed planting in a large garden.
