Houpara (Pseudopanax lessonii) An excellent choice for dynamic and resilient landscape compositions, Houpara is a fast-growing, multi-branched shrub that establishes quickly, creating structured yet lush greenery. Its deep green, leathery foliage—composed of three to five thick leaflets per stem—adds a bold, tropical element to plantings while providing year-round visual interest.

Its dense canopy provides an ecological benefit, attracting birds and contributing to habitat restoration efforts. Design Applications:

• Strong structural element in coastal gardens
• Effective privacy screen or shelter planting
• Pairs well with other native species to enhance biodiversity
