Coprosma Black Cloud is a low growing, evergreen shrub renowned for its dark foliage. The tiny leaves on this NZ native are black-bronze and held densely on rigid stems. It grows with a tidy, rounded habit to about 40 cm tall and 1.0 m wide, giving the strongest leaf colourings when planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It will also grow well in partial shade but tends to lose its denseness and colouring will be lighter. It is also tolerant of dry periods, frost, cold climates, wind, and coastal conditions. Black Cloud is commonly added to a mixed planting, used as a groundcover, included in borders, or mass planted on a bank. Excellent for supressing weeds.
Flowering: Spring [September - November]
Fruiting: Autumn [March - May]
