Coprosma ‘Plum Hussie’ PVR is a hardy New Zealand native hybrid shrub in the Rubiaceae family, grown for its dense, compact form and striking larger glossy foliage in shades of deep plum-purple with bright green new growth, typically reaching around 1.5-2.5 metres tall and wide, making it ideal for hedging, borders, 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 light trimming helping maintain a tight, colourful habit.
