📌 Product Description

Coprosma repens ‘Copper Shine – Evening Glow’ is a compact, evergreen shrub prized for its shiny, coppery-orange to bronze foliage, which adds striking year-round colour to gardens. This hardy, low-maintenance shrub produces dense, glossy leaves and a neat, rounded growth habit, making it perfect for hedging, borders, container planting, and coastal gardens.

The foliage intensifies in colour with full sun exposure, while partial shade provides a softer, greenish-copper hue. Its resilience and vibrant foliage make it an excellent choice for South African landscapes seeking both colour and structure.
