A dwarf, compact cultivar with small, dark green leaves and dense, wiry branching. A shrub that fits in a teacup. It naturally forms a neat, rounded bush that requires little pruning. The leaves are tiny, oval-shaped, and glossy, densely packed along the stems. The stems are dark and wiry, branching frequently to create a tight, compact shape. A plant that knows how to stay small. 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. A plant that gives back, even though it is small. Leprechaun Corokia is perfect for small gardens, rockeries and containers. Its compact size makes it ideal for planting in tight spaces, where larger shrubs would not fit. It can also be used for low hedges and border plantings. A plant that does not need much room. The cultivar is extremely hardy and low maintenance, tolerating wind, salt spray, drought, and frost. It is named Leprechaun for its small size, a reference to the mythical Irish fairy. The plant is a favourite for gardeners who want the look of Corokia without the space. To find Leprechaun Corokia is to look in the gardens and rockeries of New Zealand. It is a plant of cultivation, not of the wild. The small, compact bush of dark green leaves fits neatly into any space. The rockery is small. The leprechaun sits in its pot, dark green and tidy, yellow flowers bright against the grey stone. It does not know it is named for a fairy. It does not know it is a dwarf. It just grows, small and perfect, asking for nothing but a little space.
