Beautiful and rare native rainforest shrub grown for its glossy foliage which emerges in shades of copper-bronze, fresh lime, and warm gold, then matures to green apple shades and deep green. Unlike other rainforest species this one tends to stay quite small, a good size for suburban gardens. Found in creeks in the wild so one to try in the soggier areas of your garden.
