    Description

    Coprosma repens 'Gold Splash', also known as ‘Taupata Gold’, is a stunning Mirror Plant with vibrant variegated, glossy green and gold foliage that glimmers in the garden and provides year round interest in the waterwise landscape.

    Commonly called Mirror Plant or Looking Glass Plant because of the incredibly glossy and reflective leaves, ‘Gold Splash’ is a dense, evergreen shrub with shiny, wavy, rounded, variegated leaves. The striking foliage has splashes of dark green in the center surrounded by yellow edges that are more vibrant in the fall and winter. The new growth in spring is lighter in color. This upright shrub is grown for its attractive foliage and is low maintenance, drought tolerant, and hardy to 20-25F.

    Gold Splash Mirror Plant is sure to brighten up the garden or patio when featured as an accent plant, in mixed borders, as a privacy screen, or as an informal hedge. This Coprosma works well in containers as a feature plant or mixed with other plants. Coprosma 'Taupata Gold’' adds a pop of color and shine to your landscape and works well in contemporary, formal, or Asian-inspired gardens. Excellent in coastal gardens where it tolerates wind and salt spray.

    Gold Splash Mirror Plant is a stunning addition to any landscape. Its vibrant and shiny foliage will surely brighten up the garden. Easy care and drought-tolerant make Coprosma 'Taupata Gold' the perfect shrub for your garden.

    Plant Care

    Coprosma repens ‘Taupata Gold’ is easy to care for and requires minimal maintenance. It prefers well-draining soil and can handle a range of soil textures and pH. This shrub prefers full sun in coastal climates and light shade in hotter inland gardens.

    After planting your Gold Splash Mirror Plant, water deeply and regularly for several weeks to reduce plant stress and facilitate root development. After roots have become established, reduce frequency and water as needed. Fairly drought tolerant, but the amount of water required is dependent on several environmental factors such as wind, temperature, soil type, and light intensity.

    Coprosma 'Taupata Gold' (C. 'Gold Splash') is a low maintenance shrub that may not require pruning or fertilizer. Prune as needed to maintain its shape or size. Mirror Plant grows easily in nutrient-poor soil but if you wish to feed your Coprosma, use a general purpose fertilizer such as G&B Organics All Purpose Fertilizer 4-4-4 before new growth begins in spring.
