The other day when neighbor and I was in a plantshop we found this very decorative plant. We both bought one each. I’ve seen it before in various interior design blogs. It is an odd plant and it is very difficult to take a picture of it as I found out. It is presently placed in one of the kitchen windows, so I can see it when sitting at the kitchen-table.
The plant is called Corokia Cotoneaster (wire-netting brush). It comes from New Zealand where you grow it outside as a bush. It was difficult to find a good place for it where you can see the odd shaped leaves and branches. The small green leaves change appearance with how the light falls on it.
Just to get a better picture of it I temporarily placed some white styrofoam behind it outside when re-planting it in this pot. In Sweden it is called “zigzag”-plant.
Remains to be seen if it gets the tiny yellow flowers it is supposed to get in spring… First of all I need to keep it alive and make sure it is content with its environments.
