Pterophylla racemosa
Pterophylla racemosa
Pterophylla racemosa is a rare New Zealand native shrub in the Cunoniaceae family that prefers dappled or partial shade conditions with consistently moist, well-drained soil. It is best suited to mild, humid climates similar to its native New Zealand habitat and may struggle in areas with harsh winters or summer drought. Source it from specialist native plant nurseries and mulch the root zone to retain moisture.
