Coprosma Lobster Details

Coprosma rugosa Lobster, commonly known as Mountain Coprosma or Needle Coprosma, is a NZ native shrub renowned for its distinctive, lobster-red stems. Tiny, green leaves are held on the narrow branches which intertwine to give the shrub a tangled and twisted appearance. It typically grows to 60 cm tall and 1.2 m wide, performing best when planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site, though colouring will be more intense in full sun. It tolerates extended dry periods, frost, cool climates, wind, and coastal conditions. Coprosma Lobster is commonly used in coastal or alpine gardens, added to mixed plantings, grown as a groundcover, mass planted on a bank, or maintained in a container. Landscape gardeners often use this Coprosma to provide texture, interest, and to contrast with other plant colours. It is a low maintenance and very rewarding plant.
