Australian Mirror Bush – Coprosma Fire Burst

An exciting new evergreen shrub that is a feast for the eyes! We’ve been experimenting with Coprosmas for a few years and we are finally convinced they are a great little shrub for the miniature garden. The pink foliage of this Fire Burst Coprosma will definitely add a “burst” of color to your miniature garden. **A tender tree – not for colder regions but you can certainly keep this indoors in the winter and place it outside in the summer, away from the hot, direct sun. Can be grown indoors year-round as well.Keep in a cool spot with good ventilation and bright, filtered light. The colors change throughout the seasons too. It gets redder in the winter apparently and creamier in the summer. Even more fun to have around! Prune-away any of the bottom branches to shape it into a tree-form. Keep the bottom of the trunk clear of any new growth and trim away any new, wayward top-shoots as you see them. Shear it in late winter to keep the grown bushy. Tiny colorful leaves stay in scale Trees are about 6″ to 7″ tall right now Cool sun to part shade, shelter from hot sun Regular water Grows rate is unknown, estimated at 3-5″ per year Can be pruned easily when dormant tokeep small Upright broad shape Hardy Zones8 to11 or 20F Heat zones11 -8 An outdoor or indoor plant ~~~ From Irene in PA: Hello Janit and Steve!I just received my order today and everything was in great shape.
