A New Zealand native with long broad olive green leaves marked by a bold orange midrib. These sweep out from the trunk to form a dramatic fountain of foliage that gives the garden a lush sculptural look all year round. Panicles of sweet scented flowers are produced from November to January and arise beneath the leaf canopy. The flowers are then followed by masses of black berries.

Requires damp soil with good drainage in sun to part shade. A striking feature plant for a sheltered courtyard or woodland style planting and it also suits large containers. Hardy and Evergreen.
