Coprosma ‘Eclipse’
Vibrant, glossy, and evergreen, Coprosma ‘Eclipse’ is a compact shrub grown for its stunning, high-shine foliage. Its small, rounded leaves are beautifully variegated in shades of deep green, cream, and pink-red, creating an ever-changing display that brings year-round colour and interest.
In summer, the pink tones are subtle, but as the weather cools, they intensify into rich red and burgundy shades, giving this plant real seasonal drama. Its naturally neat, bushy habit makes it perfect for containers, patio displays, or as a highlight in mixed borders, where its glossy leaves provide contrast to softer textures.
‘Eclipse’ is particularly valued in modern planting designs for its clean, polished look and ability to provide reliable colour throughout the seasons. Evergreen and low-maintenance, it also tolerates coastal conditions, making it a great choice for gardens near the sea.
