How to grow Coprosma 'Tequila Sunrise' in NZ

Coprosma 'Tequila Sunrise' grows best in full sun or partial shade and prefers free draining soil.

Water regularly during establishment to support root development, then reduce watering as the plant becomes more resilient.

Caring for Coprosma 'Tequila Sunrise' is easy. Water during extended dry spells, particularly while the plant is young. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Trim lightly once or twice a year to maintain a tidy shape and encourage fresh, colourful new growth. Feed in spring with a general purpose fertiliser to support vibrant foliage.
