Coprosma ‘Red Rocks’
Tātaraheke
Description:
A hardy New Zealand native shrub with glossy bronze-red foliage that deepens to rich red tones during the cooler months. Its small, thick, highly reflective leaves provide year-round colour and texture, while its naturally spreading, mounding habit makes it an excellent choice for groundcover, banks, coastal gardens and low-maintenance landscape plantings.
Height:
30-50cm
Width:
1-1.5m
Position:
Prefers full sun to partial shade. The richest foliage colour develops in full sun, while plants grown in more shade may remain greener.
Soil:
Prefers a well-drained soil but is adaptable to sandy, coastal and poorer soils. Avoid consistently wet or waterlogged areas.
Uses:
- Groundcover for banks, borders and slopes
- Coastal and exposed gardens
- Rock and contemporary gardens
- Mass planting for low-maintenance landscapes
- Adds year-round colour and contrast to mixed plantings
Care Tips:
- Water regularly while establishing, then during extended dry periods
- Lightly trim in spring or as required to maintain shape and encourage dense growth
- Apply mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds
- Feed in spring with a balanced slow-release fertiliser
- Hardy and tolerant of wind, coastal conditions and dry periods once established
