Coprosma ‘Beatson’s Gold’ is a hardy New Zealand native shrub in the Rubiaceae family, grown for its dense, upright form and small glossy leaves with bright green to golden-yellow variegation, typically reaching 1–2.5 metres tall and wide, making it well suited to hedging, screening, and feature planting; it thrives in full sun to partial shade in well-drained soils, and is highly tolerant of wind, drought, frost, and coastal conditions once established, with minimal maintenance required apart from occasional trimming to maintain shape.
