Corokia
CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION
Corokias are reasonably frost hardy and can tolerate wind and coastal situations. They are sun lovers and are partial to well-drained, fertile soil. They respond well to pruning as this helps to maintain both the shape of the shrub as well as the density of the leaf growth. Leaves are small and leathery in most cases.
Hybrid varieties of Corokia have provided for a wide range of personal tastes. They are available in colours ranging from silver, green, grey, bronze, chocolate, yellowy-green and red. An interesting variety is the commonly known ‘wire netting bush’ (Corokia cotoneaster) which is like a tangle of zig-zagging branches with tiny leaves at sparse intervals.
