Coprosma 'Inferno' (Mirror Bush)

Coprosma 'Inferno' (Mirror Bush) Details

“Inferno” is an outstanding variety of Coprosma owing to its highly coloured foliage. It carries small and rounded, glossy leaves that are a mix of cream, pink, and green. As cooler weather sets in the colouring deepens to deep red. It grows compactly to about 1.5 m tall and the same wide, performing best when planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. This hardy plant will tolerate most soils and levels of moisture through it does require protection from frost, particularly when young. “Inferno” is commonly used as a specimen, trimmed into a hedge, included in mixed plantings, planted around outdoor living areas, maintained in a container, or used to soften a dull or plain wall. When grown for hedging plants should be spaced 60-70 cm apart.
