How to grow a Coprosma Hot Chocolate hedge

To grow a Coprosma Hot Chocolate hedge, the plants should be spaced 40-50 cm apart. If you desire a dense hedge faster, feel free to space them 30-40 cm apart. Trimming should be undertaken during active growth in spring with just the sides trimmed so the plants continue to grow upwards. Most Coprosma Hot Chocolate hedges are kept to about 80-100 cm tall and with regular trimming they look amazing!
