Coprosma repens ‘Sahara Ruby’ (Sahara Ruby Mirror Bush)

Coprosma repens ‘Sahara Ruby’, commonly known as Sahara Ruby Mirror Bush, is a striking evergreen shrub prized for its glossy, vibrant foliage. The leaves feature rich red tones with a distinctive chocolate brown to black centre, with colours becoming deeper and more intense through the cooler months. Its dense, upright habit makes it an excellent choice for adding year-round colour to borders, garden beds and contemporary landscapes.

Compact and naturally bushy, Sahara Ruby is particularly well suited to low hedges, edging, mass planting and containers. It performs well in full sun to part shade and is tolerant of wind, coastal conditions and periods of dry weather once established. With minimal maintenance and only occasional pruning required to maintain shape, it is an excellent choice for colourful, low-care garden designs.
