Coprosma ‘Lighthouse’
Lighthouse coprosma
Description:
Hardy native shrub with a tidy, upright, columnar habit. Its small, glossy green leaves are densely packed, giving it a neat architectural form. It is particularly valued as a low-maintenance option for coastal, urban, or exposed gardens where salt, wind, and poor soils might challenge other plants. Ideal for narrow spaces or vertical accents in the landscape.
Height:
1.5 – 2 m
Width:
0.6 – 1 m
Position:
Full sun to part shade; best shape and foliage colour in full sun
Soil:
Tolerates a wide range of soils, including poor, sandy, or dry soils; prefers free-draining ground
Uses:
· Coastal and seaside gardens
· Narrow hedges or vertical accents
· Container growing for patios and courtyards
· Low-maintenance urban plantings
· Wind and salt-tolerant shelter planting
Care tips:
· Water regularly when young to establish; once established, drought tolerant
· Prune lightly to maintain shape, but generally requires minimal trimming due to its natural columnar form
· Mulch around base to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds
· Hardy to wind, coastal exposure, and light frost
· Fertilise in spring with a general-purpose slow-release fertiliser to encourage healthy growth
