Coprosma Hawera Details

Coprosma Hawera, commonly known as Sand Coprosma, is a NZ native shrub that grows naturally in coastal locations. This Sand Coprosma grows as a tightly tangled mound of small, orange stems bearing small, green leaves. This evergreen is fast growing and requires only the odd trim to encourage fresh, new growth. It grows as a mound to about 40 cm tall and 1.5 m wide, performing best when grown in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. It tolerates dry periods, frost, wind, coastal conditions, and will grow well in almost any location that has good drainage. Coprosma Hawera is commonly mass planted either as a groundcover or on a bank, included in rock or coastal gardens, or planted along the edge of a wall or path where it can to spill over the edge.

Coprosma Hawera Ground Cover Spacing

Coprosma Hawera makes for a fantastic ground cover due its short stature and dense growth habit. The ideal spacing is 75 cm apart if you want a dense covering quickly. You can increase the spacing to 1.2 m apart if you have time but that may also involve a bit more weeding as you wait for the plants to merge.
