Corokia buddleioides is an evergreen shrub or small tree endemic to New Zealand, known for its distinctive foliage and wiry, twiggy form. The plant features narrow, grey-green leaves with a silvery underside and a fine, felted texture, often resembling those of the Buddleja genus, hence the name. In spring to early summer, it produces small, star-shaped yellow flowers, which are followed by attractive red or yellow berries that appeal to birds. It is commonly used in native plantings, hedging, or as a structural specimen in modern and coastal gardens due to its unique texture, dense branching, and year-round visual interest.
