Coprosma repens ‘Poor Knights’ is a prostrate form of Coprosma repens, from the Poor Knights Islands. The PoorKnightsIslands are a group of islands off the east coast of the Northland Region of the North Island of New Zealand. They lie 50 kilometres to the north-east of Whangarei. This coastal shrub (60 cm H x 2.5m W) has large glossy leathery green leaves and a sprawling habit.

It flowers during spring and summer, the male flowers appearing in dense, compound clusters, the female flowers in smaller clusters. Female plants produce orange-red ovoid drupes which are around 8 mm in diameter and 10 mm in length. This shrub is now sold in specialised nurseries.
