Corokia Cotoneaster Maori Silver Wire Netting Bush
CORO-CO-WI
- Description
An unusual shrub with dark twisted, interlaced branches that gives the whole plant the look of a bundle of old wire. The small leaves are grey green to green and are very sparse making the twisted stems the main feature of the plant. Clusters of bright yellow flowers are produced in spring and despite their small size look particularly stunning against the dark bark. The flowers are then followed by bright red berries in the autumn. Happy in any well drained soil with full sun and sheltered from cold winds. Maximum height 2.5 meters with a similar spread.
Sent in a 9cm pot.
