(Coppertina Ninebark)

This
is a great new addition to the ninebark family. Coppertina is a new cross
between the golden ninebark 'Darks Gold' and the purple leafed ninebark Diabolo ('Monlo'). The result
gives us a wonderful plant with orange-copper foliage in the spring. As the
foliage matures in summer it turns a rich red. As with other ninebark, it
blooms in summer, sporting white button-like blooms which contrast
wonderfully with the foliage. Ninebark is also noted for its attractive
exfoliating bark and red seed capsules in autumn.
Hardiness: USDA Zone 3 -7
Bloom Time: Late Spring
Size: 8 to 10 feet high. Prune to size desired.
Exposure: Full sun to partial shade
Soil: Adaptable to many soils, moderate moisture.
