Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Yet another coprosma new to these parts, this diminutive form grows to only a couple of feet and mounds or weeps beautifully in the small garden or in containers. The 1/4" leaves are a spring-green streaked and edged lemon-yellow and seem to maintain their bright colors year-round. Good plant for the rock garden. Sun to part shade with even moisture. Frost hardy to the bottom of USDA zone 8.
