Coprosma Hawera is a NZ native shrub that grows naturally in coastal locations.  It grows as a tightly tangled mound of small, orange stems bearing small, green leaves.  This evergreen is fast growing and requires only the odd trim to encourage fresh, new growth.  It grows as a mound to about 20 cm tall and 1.0 m wide, performing best when grown in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site.  It tolerates dry periods, frost, wind, coastal conditions, and will grow well in almost any location that has good drainage.  Hawera is commonly mass planted either as a groundcover or on a bank, included in rock or coastal gardens, or planted along the edge of a wall or path where it can to spill over the edge.
