Coprosma 'Inferno' Patio Tree

Coprosma Inferno grows well in pots and containers and is perfect for brightening up patios, driveways and terraces, as well as flanking entrances.

Also known as mirror plant, coprosma inferno is often grown as a shrub. However, trained into a patio tree shape, it makes an excellent year-round plant for garden design. Patio trees provide height and structure to an outdoor space and the evergreen nature of coprosma inferno provides plenty of colour interest throughout the year.

This patio tree has an exceptionally interesting colour scheme. In spring and summer, its glossy green leaves are edged in yellow-orange tones. The green is flushed with deep purple in autumn and winter when the edging turns a dramatic shade of red. Insignificant flowers and berries may appear on mature plants.

Place this patio tree in a sheltered spot in full sun or partial shade. Water frequently during hot, dry spells and provide additional insulation for pot grown plants in winter to protect the roots from frost damage.
