Nursery contributed plant descriptions

And yet ANOTHER fantastic Coprosma…this one has evergreen leaves of glossy green with irregular yellow blotches…maturing foliage takes on a coppery orange hue in summer and holds until new growth tops the stems in spring. Sun to light shade, prefers well drained soil (but tolerant of most), average water. 5’ tall and 3-4’ wide, fairly fast. Great in pots.

An almost hardy plant that will add a splash of colour to any garden with its golden foliage, changing to rich orange and red shades in the cooler months of autumn and winter. Upright habit to 3'

Evergreen shrub with glossy yellow and green leaves splashed with rusty orange. Compact, excellent for containers. Full sun - part shade. Ht. 4-5ft Spread 3-4ft.

A tender, light frost tolerant stellar container plant that merits the effort of bringing into the sunroom over winter. At least until it gets too large and heavy and then you can either prune it or hope that global warming has kicked in. Yellow variegated leaves turn maroon as they age.
