Coprosma ‘Golden Star’

Common Name:
Golden Star Mirror Bush

Description:
Coprosma ‘Golden Star’ is a compact evergreen shrub prized for its glossy, variegated foliage that glows year‑round. In summer, leaves display lime green centres edged with bright yellow and orange tones, while in winter the colours deepen to a rich orange with contrasting margins. This hardy and low‑maintenance variety thrives in well‑drained soil, tolerates dry conditions once established, and performs well in both coastal and urban Melbourne gardens. It suits individual plantings, small hedges, containers, and mixed borders. Regular feeding enhances foliage vibrancy, and trimming helps retain a neat shape. Provide protection from severe frost during cold snaps.
