Coprosma ‘Ōtāne’ is a hardy New Zealand native shrub in the Rubiaceae family, typically forming a dense, upright plant about 1–1.5 metres tall and wide, with small glossy green leaves with dark near black tones in new growth, making it suitable for hedging, and native planting; it performs best 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 and density.
