Coprosma ‘Lemon and Lime’ Description

Coprosma ‘Lemon and Lime’ is a compact looking-glass plant with polished, variegated leaves in bright yellow and fresh lime-green. Unlike many colourful coprosmas, it retains its clear citrus tones through winter, sometimes gaining a light orange flush as temperatures fall. It forms an upright bush around 60cm high and 45cm wide, although older plants may become larger in particularly mild conditions. Grow in full sun or partial shade in fertile, freely draining soil or compost. It is useful as a container focal point beside darker foliage plants. This variety is not reliably hardy throughout Ireland, so move pots to a bright protected position before severe frost. Water sparingly during winter and never leave the roots standing in water.
