Coppertina® Ninebark

Coppertina® ninebark is a deciduous shrub selected for copper-orange new foliage that matures toward red. Its cultivar denomination is ‘Mindia’, sold under the Coppertina name; the Proven Winners profile gives a mature height of 6–8 feet, and the Canadian plant-breeder record confirms the denomination and trade name.

Its seasonal color change provides interest beyond the flower display. ## Growing conditions Grow in full sun or part shade. The plant profile describes medium moisture and notes that established plants tolerate dry conditions; it also reports tolerance of acidic and alkaline soils. Leave open space around the shrub and maintain good air movement. ## Maintenance If shaping is needed, prune just after flowering. Ninebark flowers on older growth, so avoid late-season cutting that removes the following year’s flower buds.
