Coprosma Tequilea Sunrise 3 Litre Pot

Coprosma ‘Tequila Sunrise’ – Vibrant Evergreen with Stunning Multi-Coloured Foliage

Coprosma ‘Tequila Sunrise’ is a spectacular evergreen shrub, prized for its glossy, highly colourful foliage that changes through the seasons. The small, rounded leaves display an eye-catching blend of green, golden yellow, orange, and fiery red, creating a vibrant display that brings year-round interest to the garden.

The foliage colour intensifies during autumn and winter, when cooler temperatures enhance the rich orange and red tones, making this one of the most colourful evergreen shrubs available. Its naturally compact, rounded habit makes it ideal for adding structure and colour to gardens of all sizes.

Perfect for mixed borders, patio containers, coastal gardens, and contemporary planting schemes, ‘Tequila Sunrise’ provides an excellent contrast to green foliage plants and ornamental grasses. The glossy leaves also reflect sunlight beautifully, creating a striking feature throughout the year.

Thriving in full sun, Coprosma develops its brightest colours in a sunny, sheltered position. It prefers fertile, well-drained soil and is relatively drought tolerant once established. In colder parts of the UK, planting in a sheltered spot or growing in a container allows extra winter protection if required.

Easy to grow and requiring very little maintenance, it benefits from only occasional trimming to maintain its neat, rounded shape.

Bright, colourful, and incredibly versatile, Coprosma ‘Tequila Sunrise’ is an excellent choice for adding year-round foliage interest to borders, patios, and coastal gardens.
