Hoheria sexstylosa ‘Stardust’ Description

Hoheria sexstylosa ‘Stardust’ is an evergreen to semi-evergreen shrub or small tree with slender branches and narrow, toothed dark green leaves. Numerous white, star-shaped flowers appear during summer, often covering much of the outer canopy and attracting pollinating insects. Mature plants can reach around 4 to 6 metres high with a narrower spread, making them suitable for screening, sheltered boundaries and specimen planting. Grow in full sun or partial shade in fertile, well-drained soil. It performs particularly well in mild and coastal parts of Ireland, but young plants should be protected from severe frost and cold easterly wind. Prune only where necessary after flowering, removing damaged or badly placed branches while retaining the naturally graceful framework.
