Low Maintenance

Clianthus puniceus alba also known as White Kakabeak, is a beautiful New Zealand native shrub that produces elegant clusters of white, beak-like flowers in summer. These striking blooms, which resemble the shape of a Kaka's beak, provide a stunning contrast to the lush green foliage, making it an eye-catching feature in the garden.

This shrub can become quite sprawling, so regular trimming is recommended to maintain a tidy shape and control its growth. It's also important to keep an eye out for caterpillars, which may cause damage. Clianthus puniceus alba thrives in sun to semi-shade and is evergreen, offering year-round visual interest. However, it should be protected from severe frosts to ensure healthy growth.
