The Coppertina Ninebark is a dramatic shrub that features a rounded and somewhat arching growth habit. Its shape and intense foliage color makes it a great choice for use in borders, foundations, containers, and in mass plantings. The attractive foliage this plant produces is flushed with copper during the spring before maturing to rich burgundy during the summer. Mid-summer brings soft pink flowers that trace the branches, while fall brings bright red seed capsules. Coppertina also features peeling bark. Adaptable, easy to grow, and somewhat drought tolerant once established.
