The message
from solaara contains these words:
Does anyone know where I can buy a coprosma (mirror plant) I live in
Kent u.k...... Are they only in the garden centres at certain times of
the year?
I'm very fond of coprosma and have acquired several different ones at
branches of B and Q, but they seem to be only occasionally in stock.
I don't know why, other than that they are not very well known in the
UK yet.

Could be because they are not very hardy - all mine are dead here!
Do you mean in the garden or in pots for sale, Charlie? We have none
in the garden so didn't suffer a loss there and the potted ones were in
a 'just above freezing' tunnel.
In the ground in the garden, I have tried them several times but they are
always frosted
