Mirror Bush

Coprosma Inferno, commonly known as Mirror Bush, is a hardy New Zealand native shrub featuring small, glossy leaves variegated in cream, pink, and green. As temperatures cool, the foliage intensifies to deep red hues. Growing up to 1.5 metres tall and wide, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soils. Tolerant of coastal conditions, wind, and light frost, this low-maintenance plant is ideal for hedging, containers, and adding vibrant year-round colour to gardens.

How to grow a Coprosma Inferno hedge

To grow a Coprosma Inferno 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 Inferno hedges are kept to about 80-100 cm tall and with regular trimming they look amazing!
