The matipo can reach a height of 7m and a spread of up to 2m, the name weeping matipo comes from its spreading and drooping branches. The attractive shrub has small oval-shaped foliage with tiny pale yellow and red flowers which occur singular or in clusters.

The matipo can be grown in full sun or semi-shade and looks great as a small specimen plant in any garden. The shrub can be trimmed to create a hedge but will need multiple to achieve the right spread.
