Summer planting
Contrary to popular opinion, summer planting is fine as long as adequate water is provided throughout any prolonged dry periods. This allows you to take advantage of increased summer growth.
Coprosma distantia
Height: 0.3m;  Spread: 1m
Ground Cover
This is a new species from the Serville Cliffs. Tiny bronze leaves on silver stems that hug the ground. Very slow growing and rare, may get to a much greater size in width but over a long, long time.
