Low Maintenance
Salt Tolerant / Coastal Suitable

A striking and rarely cultivated New Zealand native, Aciphylla dieffenbachii is endemic to the Chatham Islands. This hardy evergreen forms a bold, architectural clump of fine, fern-like foliage in a beautiful glaucous blue tone. In summer it produces tall, dramatic flower spikes topped with clusters of yellow blooms that add height and texture to the garden.

Best grown in full sun to semi-shade in a well-drained position. Perfect for coastal gardens, native plant collections or as a sculptural feature in rockeries and dry borders. A tough, low-maintenance plant with a unique presence.
