Coprosma repens, commonly known as the mirror plant or Taupata, is an evergreen shrub native to New Zealand. It has broad, glossy leaves, with inconspicuous flowers in summer followed by small, brightly colored berries in autumn adding further visual interest. This species typically reaches a height of 5 meters and spreads up to 3 meters wide. Coprosma repens thrives in well-draining soil and prefers moist conditions, though it can tolerate periods of drought once established. It is frost hardy once mature and suitable for coastal gardens. Popular for hedging, borders, or as a standalone specimen. Great for attracting birds.
