Sophora prostrata

Sophora prostrata is a distinctive NZ native shrub known for its dense, tangled network of wiry branches and sparse, finely divided foliage. Its unique architectural form adds strong textural interest to the landscape, while its small, hidden yellow flowers appear in late spring, providing subtle seasonal charm. Semi-deciduous and extremely hardy, it thrives in exposed, cold and dry sites where few other shrubs perform well.

Reaching around 2m tall and wide, Sophora prostrata grows slowly but reliably in full sun to partial shade. Its toughness makes it ideal for difficult locations, rock gardens, dry banks and native plantings across Queenstown and Central Otago. Evergreen in mild climates and semi-deciduous in colder areas, it remains a resilient, characterful feature year-round.

Choose Sophora prostrata for a uniquely textural NZ native that delivers exceptional hardiness, sculptural form and dependable performance in exposed or challenging garden conditions.
