Pseudopanax laetus.
Large handsome shrub with a bushy habit. Attractive large dark green glossy leaves have a sub-tropical appearance in good conditions. Hardy, though young growth burns off if the frosts are heavy. Occurs naturally in the North Island in hill, montane and subalpine forests. Prefers a sheltered semi-shaded site with good soil for the most lush foliage. Good for large tubs.
