Corokia ‘Banana Royal’ is a neat, compact evergreen shrub with yellow leaves and small fragrant yellow flowers in summer, followed by red berries. Native to New Zealand, this colourful shrub is ideal for a sunny, sheltered spot against a south-facing wall. It also makes a good low hedging plant in mild areas.
How you will receive your plants:
Selected by our team of experts and sent from our nursery, you will receive your plant in a pot, ready to plant out.
Can’t plant straight away?
Place the pot in a sheltered sunny spot outdoors and water regularly to keep the soil moist.
Planting tips and hints:
Planting in the ground: Plant in very well drained soil, in a sunny, sheltered position. In cold areas, it will do best planted against a sunny south-facing wall.
Planting in containers: Plant in a container filled with good loam based compost like John Innes no 2 mixed with horticultural grit.
Aftercare:
If necessary, prune after flowering to maintain shape. No routine pruning required.
When to plant and what to expect at different times of the year
You can plant hardy shrubs, trees and perennials at any time of the year avoiding the two extremes of heat and cold. During the summer months when it is hot and dry the need for watering becomes crucial to aid successful establishment and in the winter when the soil is frozen the plants will not be in active growth either above or below ground and risk getting cold damage. The same is true on the stage or growth you can expect your plants to be delivered in and this will be directly related to the time of year and the season.
When ordering through the year, here’s a summary of what to expect when receiving your plants:
Spring Months: Plants supplied in spring will be starting to show signs of active growth above and below ground.
Summer Months: Plants supplied in the late summer will be more advanced in size and flower stage
Autumn Months: In the autumn plants will be changing colour, showing signs of leaf colour breakdown and be preparing to shut down for winter.
Winter Months: Plants ordered and supplied during the winter months will be dormant and therefore may not be showing growth above the soil level or consist of bare branches with no leaves or bare roots with no soil.
These are all perfectly normal and natural for these types of plants growing in the northern hemisphere. All will still have a very healthy root system that can be planted when the weather is favourable by keeping the new soil level equal to the pot level and therefore not covering the crown of the plant at all. Planting during the autumn and winter months will allow for early establishment in the season and a bigger and better display throughout the main growing season.
