Landscape Uses for Coprosma Golden Glow

Care Tips for Coprosma Golden Glow

Caring for Coprosma repens Golden Glow is straightforward. Regular watering during the establishment phase will help promote healthy growth, but once established, it is quite drought-tolerant. A light pruning in late winter to early spring will maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal.

In addition, this shrub can benefit from a balanced slow-release fertilizer to boost its colorful foliage. Ensure the soil has good drainage, as standing water can lead to root rot. With minimal care, your Coprosma Golden Glow will thrive and delight you with its vibrant presence.
