Little Baby Dwarf Kowhai
A funky little shrub that could only be from New Zealand with its tiny foliage and quirky nature. A fairly slow growing plant that stays small in perpetuity. It makes for the perfect little nitrogen fixing shrub to nestle in between other plantings with its compact size. Only hardy to Zone 8b but makes an easy potted specimen in climates colder than that.
