Coprosma acerosa

Sand Coprosma

Coprosma acerosa is a groundcover coprosma that is found naturally near the coast throughout New Zealand. The small needle-like deep green leaves clothe the intertangling branches that form springy mounds with a spread of up to 1m.

When plants of both sexes are present, attractive smoky blue berries follow the tiny flowers. This is an excellent plant for coastal areas and hot dry conditions.
