Corokia ‘Geenty’s Ghost’
Description:
Hardy native shrub prized for its striking silver-grey foliage with a fine, wiry texture. The tangled, divaricating branches give it a distinctive ghostly appearance, hence its name. In spring, it produces small, starry yellow flowers, followed by attractive red berries that are loved by birds. Its compact, dense habit makes it ideal for hedging, topiary, or as a feature shrub.
