Coprosma ‘Managātangi’ is a hardy New Zealand native shrub in the Rubiaceae family, typically forming a dense, upright plant around 1–2 metres tall and wide, with small glossy green leaves that may develop bronze or reddish tones in cooler conditions, making it suitable for hedging, screening, and native 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, requiring only light trimming to maintain shape.
