It typically reaches a height of 0.5 meters and has a spreading form with dense, glossy green leaves. The plant produces small, inconspicuous flowers that are pale green or white, followed by bright orange-red berries. Poor Knights Coprosma is frost tender and prefers a sheltered position with good drainage. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and is tolerant of coastal conditions. This species is often used in native plant gardens and for coastal revegetation projects due to its ability to withstand salt-laden winds.
