Coprosma rigida
Queenstown Nursery
Coprosma rigida is a hardy, upright NZ native shrub valued for its toughness and suitability for difficult sites. With its slender, interlaced branches and small green leaves, it forms a dense, structural shrub ideal for native gardens, shelter planting and ecological restoration. In late summer it produces orange-to-yellow berries that attract birds, adding habitat value to the landscape.
Growing to around 3-4m tall and 2m wide, Coprosma rigida thrives in full sun to partial shade and tolerates wet soils, exposed conditions and seasonal flooding. Its natural resilience makes it an excellent choice for riparian planting, erosion control, revegetation projects and challenging sites across Queenstown and Central Otago. Evergreen and low-maintenance, it provides year-round structure and durability.
Choose Coprosma rigida for a robust, wildlife-friendly NZ native shrub that delivers shelter, stability and dependable performance in demanding environments.
