Corokia X Virgata ‘Sunsplash’ (Wire Bush)

A compact upright bush to 1.5metres in height with yellow and grey variegated foliage on wiry stems. The tiny yellow star shaped flowers are followed by orange berries.

Position in full sun to dappled shade in a south or west facing position protected from cold winds. Unfussy about soil.

N.B. When clipping several plants with the same tool, have a bucket containing a 5% bleach solution and swish your blades around for 30 seconds between plants to sterilise them. This will help avoid the chance of cross contamination of disease.

As with all woody plants, plant high, exposing as much of the taper at the base of the trunk as possible. Allowing soil to accumulate round the base of a tree can be fatal. Keep very well watered when first planted.
