Native to New Zealand, this incredibly tough shrub earns its unusual name from its thick, leathery, deep-cut leaves that genuinely resemble the giant three-toed footprint of the extinct Moa bird.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eThe foliage provides incredible year-round structural interest. New growth emerges a dark, glossy purple-black before slowly maturing to a rich, dark bronze-green. Its distinctly prehistoric, prehistoric look makes it an outstanding structural backdrop for a UK jungle garden or a brilliant standalone specimen in a modern, minimalist planting scheme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eGrowing \u0026amp; Overwintering\u003c\/b\u003e Unlike many exotic-looking plants, \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"59\"\u003ePseudopanax\u003c\/i\u003e is fantastically resilient. It is highly tolerant of wind and salt spray, making it an exceptional choice for exposed or coastal gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eIt is low-maintenance and naturally forms an upright, bushy habit without the need for pruning. To get the darkest, most intense foliage coloration, position it in full sun. While it is hardy through most typical UK winters, like many New Zealand natives, it hates sitting in cold, waterlogged winter soil. Ensuring sharp drainage is the key to keeping it happy year-round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eQuick Care Guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eLight:\u003c\/b\u003e Full sun to partial shade.
