Add exotic appeal to your indoor and outdoor displays with the incredible foliage on Cussonia spicata ‘Cussonic’. Also known as a ‘Cabbage Tree’, this striking architectural plant has deeply divided lush green leaves that have an exotic snowflake-like shape.
In addition to the incredible foliage, this fast-growing shrub has spikes of green flowers that turn to ornamental fruit as the season progresses. As the plant matures the bark takes on a cork-like texture that adds to the unusual and exotic appeal of the shrub. Perfect for growing in a large container alongside grasses or the striking silhouette of agapanthus, it will also flourish in green houses and conservatories where it creates a versatile and striking focal-point to enjoy.
To get the best display from Cussonia spicata ‘Cussonic’, plant it in free-draining soil and position it in a bright and sunny spot. A highly drought tolerant plant, it requires minimal watering throughout the season. It will not tolerate frost and harsh cold winds, so will grow best in a protected environment over winter.
