This plant is endemic to the
Chatham Islands of New Zealand, and is now distributed through garden centres for the home gardens.. I have some growing in my garden, they can be quite hard to get to flower but pleased they are just starting to flower now..
@777margo I think it thrives in the harsh conditions .. grows in craggy well drained soil and salty winds.. mine is on the south side of the house in a real wind tunnel .. where not much else grows..
