Coprosma ‘Red Roy’ is a hardy New Zealand native shrub in the Rubiaceae family, typically forming a dense, upright plant around 1–2.5 metres tall and wide, with small glossy leaves that develop strong red to bronze colouring, especially in new growth and cooler conditions, making it useful for 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 exposure once established, with light trimming helping maintain a compact, colourful form
