A variegated cultivar with dark green leaves edged in bright golden-yellow. A shrub that looks like it is lit from within. The colour is most intense in full sun, where the yellow edges practically glow against the dark green centres. The leaves are small, oval-shaped, and leathery, with a slightly wavy margin. The stems are dark and wiry, branching to form an upright, bushy shrub. A plant that wears its best colours in the light. The plant produces small, star-shaped yellow flowers in spring. The flowers are not large or showy, but they are numerous and attract native bees. They are followed by bright red berries that persist into winter, providing food for birds. The combination of variegated foliage, yellow flowers, and red berries makes this cultivar a year-round performer. A plant that gives all year. Sunsplash Corokia is extremely hardy, tolerating wind, salt spray and drought. It is excellent for hedging and adding colour to coastal gardens, where its bright foliage stands out against the grey-green of other coastal plants. The variegation is stable, meaning the plant does not revert to all-green foliage. The cultivar was bred for its striking variegated foliage. It is named Sunsplash for the golden-yellow edges that look like sunlight splashing on the leaves. To find Sunsplash Corokia is to look in the gardens of New Zealand. The coastal garden is windy. The corokia glows, dark green leaves edged with gold, yellow flowers bright against the grey sky. The bees buzz. The berries redden. The plant does not know it is a cultivar. It does not know it is named for sunlight. It just grows. That is what it was made to do.
