Design with this plant

Overview

The Mirror Plant, Coprosma repens, is an evergreen shrub, notable for its lustrous, glossy leaves that reflect light like mirrors. Growing up to 5-8 feet tall with a similar spread, it thrives in USDA zones 9-11. Mirror Plants offer low maintenance and drought tolerance once established, and are excellent for coastal settings due to salt resistance. Their foliage varies from green to gold or variegated, adding year-round visual interest.
