The Story
Native to New Zealand, this unusual evergreen shrub, commonly called the ‘White Kakabeak’, features delicate, feathery foliage on graceful, arching stems that climb as they grow. From spring through to early summer, it produces striking, pendulous white flowers shaped like parrot beaks. These blooms are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators, and their exotic appearance makes them a standout addition, quite unlike anything typically seen in an English garden.
