Coprosma 'Glowing Embers'
coprosma
Tolerant of coastal conditions and exposed sites, it thrives in well-drained soil with full sun or partial shade in a southerly, sheltered aspect.
While frost hardy in milder areas, it may need frost protection in colder regions, making it well-suited to container planting for easy relocation during winter. Disease-resistant and low-maintenance, it’s a reliable choice for colourful, evergreen structure in warmer spots.

How to care for Coprosma 'Glowing Embers':
Plant in a well-drained, sheltered, sunny spot protected from cold winds. Use a loam based potting compost if planting in pots, with plenty of drainage to avoid waterlogging.
In spring, lightly trim any branches that spoil the symmetry of the plant. Afterwards apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted leaf mould or composted pine needles around the base of the plant.
In colder regions, protect from hard frosts, or keep it in a pot and move it to a sheltered spot when the temperatures dip.
