Coprosma ‘Red Rocks’

Description:
Compact, evergreen New Zealand native shrub known for its glossy, bronze-red foliage that deepens to rich red tones in cooler months. The leaves are small, thick, and shiny, giving the plant a reflective “varnished” appearance. Its spreading, mounding habit makes it ideal for ground cover, coastal gardens, and erosion control. It also produces small, inconspicuous flowers followed by blue berries on female plants.
