Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We will always make room for selections of "Mirror Plant", with it's shiny colorful boxwood like foliage and habit we like to use in containers. 'Tequila Sunrise' is similar in coloring to our Coprosma 'Evening Glow' but the leaves are a bit wider. Habit when grown as a container plant is going be more restrained but where it is hardy it can form a shrub 4-5' high and wide.
Shiny evergreen foliage is lime-green with green midrib. Foliage turns sunset-orange in fall, followed by burgundy foliage in winter. Great for containers. Sun. Ht. 24-36".
