Re: Native plants?

Let's keep this NZ response going!

Bronze haloragis is a beauty and a New Zealand native also. It does 
nothing much except clump and sprawl into a mound something similar 
to Artimisia "Powis Castle" but will not grow as tall if left alone.
Bronze haloragis is grown for its foliage which, in full sun is a 
light chestnut brown with a touch of orange. The leaves are shaped 
similar to verbena and are serrated along the edge. Stems are thin 
(2-5mm) and the plant is best trimmed several times a year to keep it 
in good shape. I believe it is frost hardy but I do not know to what 
degree. Mine will be seeding this NZ summer and although I have no 
idea of its germination requirements I will hapilly swap a few seeds 
for oddball favourites.
Lara, Can you use a few dwarf sunflower plants?
