Corokia 'Clover'

Common Name:
Corokia 'Clover'

Description:
Corokia 'Clover' is a compact and intricately branched shrub known for its fine, zig-zagging stems and dense foliage, offering year-round structure and subtle beauty to the garden. This variety features small, glossy green leaves with a silvery underside and a naturally tidy, rounded habit. In spring, it produces small, star-shaped yellow flowers that add a cheerful pop of colour before developing into attractive red berries, which can persist into autumn and offer visual interest as well as food for birds. Corokia 'Clover' thrives in a range of conditions, performing best in full sun to part shade and preferring well-drained soils. It is wind-tolerant, drought-resistant once established, and responds well to clipping, making it a popular choice for low hedging or topiary. Its compact size and refined structure also suit courtyard gardens, borders, or pots. Hardy and versatile, it’s ideal for formal and modern garden styles alike, particularly in Melbourne’s temperate climate.
