📌 Product Description

Coprosma repens ‘Pacific Sunrise’ is a vibrant evergreen shrub admired for its glossy, colour-changing foliage. The oval leaves emerge in shades of bright green with orange-red tones, maturing into rich hues of red, burgundy, bronze, and deep green depending on season and sunlight.

This compact, low-maintenance shrub provides year-round colour and structure, making it ideal for borders, mass planting, containers, and coastal gardens. Its highly reflective leaves give rise to the common name Mirror Plant, adding a modern, architectural look to landscapes.
