This plant is prized for its dense, fine-textured foliage, which is a rich green colour. The small, star-shaped yellow flowers that appear in spring add a touch of brightness, followed by red or orange berries that attract birds. Geentys Green is ideal for use in mixed borders, as a low hedge, or in containers.

Geentys Green thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. It is highly adaptable to various soil types, including sandy and loamy soils, and is particularly well-suited to coastal conditions due to its wind and salt tolerance. This hardy shrub is drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal maintenance. Regular watering during the establishment phase promotes strong root growth, and occasional trimming helps maintain its shape and encourage dense growth. Space plants about 1-1.5 metres apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth.
At maturity, Corokia Geentys Green reaches a height and spread of approximately 1.5-2 metres, forming a dense, bushy shrub.
