Coprosma kirkii 'Variegata' - A low growing woody groundcover that grows to 1 foot and spreads to 4 to 6 feet wide with narrow bluntly-rounded small gray-green leaves that have creamy margins. Plant in coastal full sun or light shade and irrigate regularly to occasionally. Can survive temperatures down to about 10 degrees F. This is a great small scale groundcover that flows outward with branches near the extremities flat to the ground. Good for covering banks, spilling over walls or as a filler in large containers. A very useful plant in near coastal situations.
