Family Asparagaceae
Originating from New Zealand

Distinctively chic white variegation adds a striking twist to this variety of the iconic and indispensable species C. australis, which is the backbone of our Mediterranean display beds at Urban Jungle Suffolk. Slower growing and slightly more tender than the species, it rarely flowers, and so maintains a columnar and single-stemmed architectural quality, rather than branching into a small tree. Hardy in southern and coastal gardens, it will re-shoot from the trunk or, in extreme cold, from the roots after a harsh winter. Easy to grow in all soil types and excellent in coastal exposure.

Height and spread after 10 – 20 years 6m x 4m
