COPROSMA LOBSTER - NZ GARDENER MAGAZINE PLANT OF THE MONTH AUGUST 2009

With its twisting, tangling branches and tiny leaves, Coprosma Lobster is a quirky divaricating shrub that often prompts closer inspection and, more often than not, a gentle touch to see if is really that prickly (Coprosma Lobster is wonderfully deceptive).

Its bronze-red foliage is best shown off against lime-green, black or silver foliage and it looks good as a hedge, mass planted or set among other low maintenance plants. Thriving in full sun or part shade it also enjoys coastal life. Growing to 50 cm high by 1.2 metres wide, Coprosma Lobster is available in garden centres now. For more landscaping ideas visit www.gardeningsolutionz.co.nz.

NZ Gardener magazine in association with Gardening Solutionz has 5 Coprosma Lobster plants to give away. To enter, write your details on the back of an envelope and send to: Coprosma Lobster Giveaway, NZ Gardener, PO Box 6341, Wellesley St, Auckland 1141 by August 31st 2009.

Congratulations to A Lynn, Alby Shaw, C Newall, M Rameka and Marie Clement who each won a Coprosma Lobster Plant in the above competition - your plants have been couriered to you.
