Corokia virgata 'Frosted Chocolate'
A distinctive evergreen shrub with a strikingly wiry, almost sculptural habit, Corokia ‘Frosted Chocolate’ stands out for its small, silvery-grey leaves with a bronzed, chocolate tint—especially pronounced in cooler weather. Tiny yellow star-like flowers appear in spring, occasionally followed by small red berries.
Perfect for adding year-round texture and contrast to borders, containers, or as an architectural accent. Hardy and wind-tolerant once established, it also makes an excellent choice for coastal or urban gardens.
Sold currently in 2-litre pots.
