Somehow I was able to get my hands on some of this plant material here in the USA! I believe florists are now using this plants foliage to add texture to floral arrangements. Well low and behold the cutting of the mirror plant started rooting in the vase! So now I have 2 rooted cuttings of this plant. Considering I don’t see this anywhere else besides in floral arrangements I think it would be quite cool to have a plant that’s very rare in this part of the world. Surely you see it all the time in NZ But here it’s a nice addition to my landscape. I keep mine in a pot since obviously the regular frosts we get here every winter would kill these things outside lol

It's funny how we are all trying to grow things that are not quite in the zone - Good luck with the Coprosma.
