Coprosma 'Evening Glow' (Evening Glow Mirror Bush) - A very colorful evergreen upright growing shrub to 4 to 5 feet tall with striking variegated foliage. The small ovate leaves are green with irregular yellow blotches that turn bright orange-red in late summer and fall and remain this way until new growth commences in the spring. Flowers are inconspicuous. Plant in full coastal sun to light shade inland in moderately well-drained soil. Irrigate occasionally to regularly. Hardy to 20-25 F. Naturally takes a pyramidal form but tolerates pruning to shape (best in fall or spring). This plant introduced by Richard Ware of Napier, New Zealand. We grew this plant from 2006 until 2011.
