Great foliage contrast in this 3'x3' New Zealand shrublike perennial, both in terms of its bold bronze coloration and the distinctive texture texture created by its sawtooth leaves. Flowers are small and inconspicuous, but the foliage is great to break up the monotony of green. Takes sun, but likes moist soil. Some claim hardiness to zone 6; zone 8 is probably safer. Semi-evergreen. Haloragis is called Toatoa by the Maori, Seaberry by others. Relatively rare in cultivation, even in Wellington.
