Fast facts:

• commonly known as 'dwarf rock lily' or 'New Zealand rock lily'
  
• purpley bronze leaves that set small white flowers in summer
• mature plants will be 8-10" tall while flowering stems are approximately 12" tall
• deciduous grass that spreads through clumping or self-seeding

Plant this arthropodium in part to full sun where you seeking to add some extra detail on a smaller scale. Rock gardens are an option, or in mixed beds, but would not recommend for containers or borders due to its deciduous nature. Spreads, but not aggressively, and adds a whimsical texture and a soft color. A relative of lilies, though in different families, the similarity is palpable when white lily-like flowers emerge in June/July. Flowers will continue throughout summer if deadheaded, and black seeds will set in autumn. Cut grass to 1-2" above the ground once it has died back completely. Can be divided at the start of spring. Appreciates some moisture in the soil.

A personal favorite, the Corokia cotoneaster adds a low maintenance and unique flair to the landscape. A shrub native to New Zealand, this species is slow growing, achieving a maximum height of 6-8ft over the years. It loves sun, but can tolerate part-sun, and thrives in well-draining soils. Its naturally quirky branches have small silvery-green evergreen leaves, with yellow flowers in spring that mature to red berries in fall. This shrub responds very well to pruning. Plant this if you're looking for an eye-catcher that is easy to care for. We frequently have this shrub in stock, and if you don't see it, let us know and we will source it for you.
