    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This collection from New Zealand's South Island grows to 3 ft or so, replete with tiny divaricating branches and leaves to ...oh, about a millimeter, all in a coppery, pink hue. Flowers are tiny as well, followed by interesting, almost violet berries in late summer. Particularly tough for a coprosma, withstanding temperatures of 10F with no damage ... though who could tell on a copper-colored plant. Best with some summer water and bright light for best color. Makes a very good pot filler. Frost hardy to 10F, USDA zone 8.
