Astelia chathamica Silver Shadow 9cm Potted Plant x 3

Astelia ‘Silver Shadow’ is a striking evergreen perennial that brings unique architectural interest to any garden. Its large, arching sword-like leaves are adorned with a beautiful silver dusting, making it a standout feature in shaded or partially shaded areas. This vigorous variety boasts particularly vibrant silver colouring, providing a striking contrast when planted alongside deep purple or red-toned plants.

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, Astelia ‘Silver Shadow’ offers year-round interest. In spring, female plants produce clusters of yellowish-green flowers on tall stalks, followed by eye-catching orange berries. Whether used as a dramatic accent in a border or as a focal point in a container, this half-hardy perennial thrives in various settings—from partial shade among ferns to sunny Mediterranean landscapes with drought-tolerant plants. For gardeners in milder regions, Astelia ‘Silver Shadow’ can be grown outdoors year-round, while those in colder areas may require winter protection.
