(Seed Grown)
Aka. New Zealand lilac brings a bit of the rugged South Island to your garden. It’s a solid shrub that thrives in sunny spots with sharp drainage—think rocky slopes or berms. In late spring, it bursts into lilac-purple flower spikes that pollinators can’t resist. Give it full coastal sun but some protection inland and protect it from hard frosts, and don’t fuss—once settled, it’s happy with minimal water. A light prune after flowering keeps it looking sharp. Perfect for gardeners who like their plants a little wild but easy to live with.
