Major puts on quite a show from early in spring and into summer. It has a profusion of large, plump, flower heads. They’re so full that they invite squeezing, and this of course releases the refreshing lavender aroma. It has strong stems and is always tidy - one of the best patio plants we've seen.

A smaller and showy form of our native Pohutukawa, valuable as a specimen tree for smaller city sections, while in larger and country gardens it lends itself to mass planting - it'd look great as a driveway avenue feature. Once established it'll handle a wide range of conditions and is particulary coastal tolerant.
Evergreen rounded shrub, with oval glossy green leaves. Strongly scented creamy yellow purple edged flowers are produced over the summer months. Can be grown in sun but does better if planted in a warm sheltered position in light shade. Great in tubs. 2.5 x 1 metre.
