About Coprosma petriei Cheeseman

Coprosma petriei Cheeseman, commonly known as mirrorplant, is a mat-forming shrub native to New Zealand. This hardy, wind-pollinated shrub grows to 0.1 m (4 inches) in height and spreads 0.5 m (20 inches) wide. Its seeds mature in August, and individual plants produce only male or only female flowers, meaning they cannot self-fertilize.
