Coprosma Lemon Lime Patio Tree

Description

Coprosma Lemon and Lime grows well in pots and containers and is the perfect outdoor plant for brightening up patios, driveways and terraces, as well as flanking entrances.

Also known as an outdoor mirror or looking glass plant, coprosma lemon and lime is often grown as shrubs and bushes. However, trained into patio tree shapes, they make excellent outdoor plants all year round. Patio trees provide height and structure to an outdoor space and the evergreen nature of these garden plants provides colour interest throughout the year.

This patio tree boasts thick glossy green leaves around the same size and shape as those on box hedge plants. The bright green foliage is flushed with shades of yellow and cream throughout the year – hence the name lemon and lime. In winter, the leaves become tinged with warm orange tones. Insignificant green flowers may appear on mature garden mirror plants in spring.

Place this patio tree in a sheltered spot in full sun or partial shade. Water frequently during hot, dry spells and provide additional insulation for pot grown plants to prevent root damage from Jack Frost.

Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.
