Coprosma repens 'Marble Queen' (Dwarf Variegated Mirror Plant) - This evergreen shrub is a dwarf cultivar of Coprosma repens with attractive white and green variegated leaves. Dense growth to 3 to 5 feet tall by 4-6 feet wide - lower when exposed to coastal winds. Except near the coast, where it can take full sun, it does best in part sun elsewhere. Give regular to occasional irrigation. Cold tolerant down to about 20 degrees F. A great plant for gardens along the coast as it tolerates beach front conditions.  This description of this plant is based on our research and our observations of it growing at the nursery, in our own garden and in other gardens. We always appreciate receiving feedback of any kind from those who have any additional information about this plant, particularly if they disagree with what we have written or have additional cultural tips that would aid others growing Coprosma 'Marble Queen' .
