Coprosma Black Cloud

Coprosma Black Cloud is an ornamental shrub known for its striking, dark foliage and compact, mounding growth habit. This variety of Coprosma, sometimes referred to as mirror plant, features leaves that are almost black, with a glossy sheen that gives them a reflective quality. This deep, dark coloring provides a dramatic contrast in the garden, making it a popular choice for contemporary and minimalist designs.

Fantastic for ground-covering or as a low hedge. Its dense growth and dark foliage make it an excellent backdrop for brighter plants, allowing their colors to stand out vividly. It is also well-suited for planting in containers, where its glossy leaves can be appreciated up close.

Prefers full sun to partial shade and thrives in well-drained soil. It is drought-tolerant once established and can handle a range of soil types, making it a versatile choice for various garden settings. Its tolerance to coastal conditions, including salt spray, makes it suitable for seaside gardens as well. 

Typically grows 0.3m high x 1m wide, forming a dense, rounded shrub.
