Coprosma kirkii 'Variegata' Details

Coprosma kirkii ‘Variegata’ is a handsome and popular, NZ native, ground covering plant. Its horizontal, slender stems, host small leaves that are variegated cream and green. Translucent, white berries are produced among the branches in autumn. It typically grows to 60 cm tall and 1.5 m wide and can be trimmed as necessary. This Coprosma grows well on a wide range of soils and tolerates wind, coastal environments, moderate frost, and cool climates. It does grow best, however, when planted in a full sun position on a well-drained site. Coprosma kirkii ‘Variegata’ is especially good for covering banks, including in coastal gardens, using as an attractive groundcover, maintaining in a container, planting around living areas such as swimming pools, or growing around the base of taller trees.
