Haloragis ‘Bronze’

A hardy perennial in zones 8 and south (zone 7 with protection), and a spectacular tender foliage plant in cooler areas, Bronze Sea Berry has a most unique color. Few plants can match the metallic-coppery colored leaves of this New Zealand native. We call it simply Bronze though you find similar, (or most likely the same) plant(s) with names like; ‘Melton Bronze’, ‘Wellington Bronze’, ‘Driftwood’ and ‘Wanganui Bronze’. The genus is sometimes spelled Halorages as well. Called Toatoa in its homeland, Bronze Sea Berry is superb when spilling over the edge of containers and contracts brilliantly with charteuse-leaved plants. It does need ample moisture.
