Coppertina Ninebark

Coppertina Ninebark is a colorful deciduous shrub known for coppery-orange spring foliage that deepens to rich red through summer. With pinkish-white blooms, upright arching branches, and peeling winter bark, it brings bold texture and multi-season landscape interest to borders, screens, and mass plantings.

Why choose Coppertina Ninebark?

Choose Coppertina Ninebark for dramatic foliage color and durable landscape structure. This tall ninebark selection offers a strong upright habit, eye-catching seasonal leaf color, and clusters of soft flowers in early summer. It is especially useful as a backdrop shrub, informal hedge, property-line screen, or colorful anchor in mixed borders. Its exfoliating bark adds winter texture after the leaves drop, extending its value beyond the growing season.

Key Characteristics

Botanical Name: Physocarpus opulifolius ‘Mindia’
Common Name: Coppertina Ninebark
Plant Type: Deciduous shrub
Growth Habit: Upright, arching, multi-stemmed shrub

Coppertina Ninebark Additional Information

Coppertina Ninebark emerges in spring with coppery-orange foliage that matures into deeper bronze-red to red tones as the season progresses. In early to midsummer, rounded clusters of pinkish-white flowers appear along the stems, creating a striking contrast against the darker leaves. The flowers may be followed by small ornamental seed capsules, adding subtle late-season texture.

This shrub is deciduous, dropping its foliage in winter to reveal attractive exfoliating bark on mature stems. Its peeling bark is one reason ninebark is valued for winter structure in mixed shrub plantings. Coppertina Ninebark typically grows into a large, bold shrub, making it well suited for sunny borders, naturalized screens, mass plantings, and larger foundation beds. It blooms on old wood, so pruning is best done shortly after flowering. Mature plants can be selectively thinned to maintain shape and encourage fresh, colorful growth.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant Coppertina Ninebark in full sun with average, well-drained soil. It adapts to a range of soil conditions, including acidic or alkaline soils, and performs best with good air circulation.

2. Watering: Water deeply after planting and keep soil evenly moist during the first growing season. Once established, provide supplemental water during extended dry periods, especially in hot, exposed, or fast-draining sites.

3. Mulching: Apply a 2 to 3 inch layer of mulch around the root zone, keeping mulch slightly away from the stems. Mulch helps conserve moisture and supports steady root development.

4. Pruning: Prune immediately after flowering if shaping is needed, since flower buds form on older wood. Thin older stems near the base to refresh mature plants and maintain a strong, open habit.
