Styphelia nesophila (syn. Cyathodes fraseri)
$18.00
Unit price perA delightfully strange lesser-known dwarf Ericaceous gem. Sometimes referred to as bear-heath in reference to the wildly fringed interior of the fragrant yet unremarkable white flowers, just don't look (or smell) too closely or you'll meet with the long needle point of the leaves. The flowers are followed by spherical orange fruit which are apparently quite succulent! Would make a great deterrent to erring footfall in your treasured rock garden. Has proven hardy at Kew but given its New Zealand and Australian heritage likely best suited to milder gardens.
