Astelia Silver Shadow
Astelia chathamica Silver Shadow
A New Zealand native, the species astelia is grown for the tussocks of arching leaves and not for the panicles of small flowers which emerge from the rosette of leaves.
Growing up to 1-1.5m tall this plant has eye-catching, silver-green, strappy leaves.
It grows on rocks and banks as an epiphyte.
The greenish flowers are followed by purple fruit which was traditionally eaten by the Maoris.
Silver Shadow is a new form selected for greater frost hardiness, more intense colour and compact habit
