Description

Harley Botanica Kohuhu is a vibrant, fast-growing evergreen that provides a brilliant splash of lime-green color. Its new growth emerges a bright, luminous yellow-green, maturing to a lighter green with a contrasting dark edge, creating a lively, bicolor effect. This tall, dense shrub quickly forms an excellent privacy screen or large hedge, all while offering the signature fragrant spring flowers of the species. It's a vigorous and colorful choice for creating bold, fast-filling garden backdrops.

  • Vibrant Bicolor Foliage: New leaves are a striking bright lime-yellow, maturing to a lighter green, often with a thin, dark green margin for contrast.

  • Fast-Growing & Tall: A vigorous grower that can quickly reach 6-10 feet or more in height and spread, perfect for fast screening.

  • Excellent Privacy Screen: Its dense, upright growth habit makes it ideal for tall hedges, windbreaks, or to block unsightly views.

  • Adaptable & Tough: Once established, shows good drought tolerance and adapts to a range of soils and exposures.

  • Fragrant Spring Blooms: Produces the characteristic sweet-scented, dark purple flowers in spring.

Faqs

Q: How do I keep it at a manageable height for a hedge?
A: It responds well to pruning. For a formal hedge, prune in late spring after flowering and again in late summer if needed. It can be maintained at almost any height below its potential 10 feet.

Q: Does the bright color fade in summer?
A: The most intense lime-yellow color is on the new spring growth. As leaves mature, they settle into a more stable, lighter green, but the plant retains a bright, lively appearance.
