Coppertina Ninebark
Physocarpus opulifolius 'Mindia' PP# 16371
Coppertina Ninebark Shrubs (Physocarpus) is a purple-leaved ninebark cultivar. Like the species, it is an upright, spreading, somewhat coarse, deciduous shrub. It typically grows 4 to 8 feet (less frequently to 10') tall. Small, pinkish-white, five-petaled flowers appear in late spring. Flowers give way to drooping clusters of reddish fruit. Ninebark is named for its exfoliating bark (on mature branches) which peels in strips to reveal several layers of reddish to light brown inner bark. Bark provides winter interest but is usually hidden by the foliage during the growing season.
