Hailed as having the most brightly coloured foliage of all the coprosmas, the leaves of 'Inferno' are a vivid mix of bright red, gold, green and claret, and this colour intensifies and deepens as the temperatures drop in winter. Use it to make an informal screen - or as an outstanding addition to a mixed border or larger patio pot.


  • Garden care:
    Plant in a well-drained, sheltered, sunny spot protected from cold winds. Use a loam based potting compost if planting in pots, with plenty of drainage to avoid waterlogging.

    In spring, lightly trim any branches that spoil the symmetry of the plant. Afterwards apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted leaf mould or composted pine needles around the base of the plant.

    In colder regions, protect from hard frosts, or keep it in a pot and move it to a sheltered spot when the temperatures dip.
