Coprosma – Hardy Native Shrubs And Groundcovers For NZ Gardens

Coprosma is a diverse genus of New Zealand native shrubs and groundcovers valued for their hardiness, glossy foliage, and year-round appeal. Whether you’re after bold hedging varieties like Coprosma robusta and Coprosma lucida, or compact, colourful cultivars like ‘Lemon and Lime’ or ‘Mini Mac’, there’s a Coprosma to suit every landscape. These low-maintenance plants thrive in coastal, alpine, and native garden settings, and many produce berries that attract birds. Ideal for hedging, erosion control, containers, or mass planting.
