About this plant

An upright multistem, bushy evergreen shrub grown for its purple-bronze foliage and lobed leaves. Rare to the UK, this hardy evergreen shrub from New Zealand provides dramatic visuals with its tropical looking large glossy, leathery purple tinged leaves. Its greenish flowers are of no significance. An unusual top plant easily grown in containers and a good choice for coastal gardens.
