Ramarama. This evergreen hybrid between two New Zealand natives adds a delicate touch to the California garden without being the slightest bit frail. A cross between Lophomyrtus bullata and L. obcordata, this upright shrub grows to 6 or 8’ with an equal spread, and bears hundreds of small rounded leaves that shiver refreshingly in an afternoon or morning breeze. The individual leaves are marbled with shades of green, cream and pink and are highlighted in summer by small white flowers. Plant in fertile soils in full sun and provide moderate water. Hardy to 10F. New Zealand.
