Pseudowintera Majore Congreve

Pseudowintera Majore Congreve is an evergreen New Zealand shrub valued for its neat foliage and reliability in cool, sheltered gardens. It performs best in partial to full shade, in moist but well-drained, humus-rich soil that is neutral to acidic. Slow growing to around 1.21.8m, it is chiefly grown for its foliage; any flowers are small and inconspicuous in spring. Site away from cold, drying winds for the best results.
