Coprosma

Nothing brightens up the winter border more than Coprosma, also called ‘Mirror Plant’ because of its thick shiny leaves. These evergreen beauties change colors as the days shorten and temperatures cool. ‘Evening Glow’ has a golden foliage which changes from oranges to shades of pink while ‘Fire burst’ begins with green leaves and orange margins then changes to a dramatic red with green. Coprosma look stunning in containers along with Heucheras and Creeping Jenny. Protect from frost is needed as is a sunny spot with some afternoon shade. Some varieties can reach four to five feet while others are more compact. Add some shine to you garden this fall and reflect on all you’ve done this year.
