Notes
Mirror plant (Coprosma repens) is a shrub for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It sits low on the menu for deer. This evergreen shrub handles drought and salt well, and birds visit it.
Pairs well with Bear's breeches, Citronella geranium, and Alina rose.
