Plant description
This compact, bushy evergreen shrub boasts thick, glossy, tri-lobed leaves that create a striking, exotic appearance.
The leathery foliage features pale midribs, adding to its visual appeal. Pseudopanax 'Cyril Watson' thrives in milder areas of the UK (hardy to around -1°C), ideally planted in open or semi-shaded positions, but can also be grown in cooler regions with protection, such as against a wall or even moved indoors to a well-lit, frost-free conservatory or porch.
Its yellow-green flowers appear in summer, with male and female blooms on separate plants, followed by black berries. A good option for coastal areas.
