Cyathodes fraseri

Cyathodes fraseri, commonly known as Fraser's Cyathodes, is a small shrub native to southeastern Australia and New Zealand. Thriving in partial sun or full shade, this plant prefers moist soil that can range from light sandy to heavy clay. It grows up to 20 cm tall and is notable for its edible fruit, which can be consumed raw or dried for later use. Native to areas including New South Wales, the North Island of New Zealand, the South Island of New Zealand, Tasmania, and Victoria, Fraser's Cyathodes adds a unique touch to gardens while providing a food source in its native range. This plant is best suited for hardiness zones 7-10 and grows at a slow rate. For propagation, use the fruit as the edible part, ensuring the plant has adequate moisture and well-draining to slightly clay-rich conditions for optimal growth.
