Pseudowintera colorata 'Red Hot' is a selection of Pseudowintera colorata that features deeper and more consistent coloring than the typical species. It is an attractive grower with aromatic foliage that is rich-red in color when young, eventually maturing to a yellow-green with red speckles and margins. Due to its unique coloration and appearance, it is an excellent choice for creating a stunning hedge. Pseudowintera colorata is evergreen and native to New Zealand. Pseudowintera colorata 'Red Hot' was developed before 2018 by Elliots Wholesale Nursery in Amberley, New Zealand (PVR 34007).

Seasonal Colour

Foliage

This is a general guide. When a plant flowers, fruits and colours up depends on the climate where you live and on the season. If timing matters, please reach out to our team.

Foliage Type

Evergreen plants retain foliage year-round but still shed and replace some leaves gradually as part of their normal growth cycle, rather than losing them all at once.

Deciduous plants shed all their leaves for part of the year (usually in autumn and winter), usually in response to colder temperatures or dry seasons, often producing seasonal colour before leaf drop.

Semi-evergreen plants sit between the two, keeping most of their foliage but losing some or all leaves briefly under cooler or drier conditions before quickly regrowing them.
