Corokia cotoneaster | Wire-Netting Bush

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Corokia cotoneaster produces small, star-shaped yellow flowers in mid to late spring, each bloom opening with narrow petals that radiate around golden centers along the wiry branches. The blossoms appear among tiny, oval leaves covered with a soft gray-green surface and silvery undersides. Zigzagging stems create an intricate framework that remains visible through the foliage, giving the plant a textured and sculptural presence throughout the year.

Native to New Zealand, Corokia cotoneaster grows naturally in coastal and rocky landscapes. In gardens it lends architectural character to borders, gravel gardens, and hedging, where the branching pattern and small leaves create year-round interest.
