Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A new hybrid between ‘Dart's Gold’ (golden foliage) and ‘Diabolo’ (burgundy foliage) that flushes an attractive copper in spring and transforms to a rich red in summer. This variety has pinkish-white, button-like flowers in mid-summer. It is very showy and extremely hardy. An excellent landscape or back-of-the-border shrub and as a cut flower.

The wonderful orange-copper spring foliage of this 6-8' shrub matures to bright orange-red making it a bright spot of color all season long. Pure-white early summer flowers contrast the foliage and become showy red seed capsules. This is a tough and vibrant addition for the hedge, border or mass planting. S/M PP16371

Copper-toned spring leaves distinguish this spectacular new cross between 'Dart's Gold' and 'Diabolo', which was bred by Frenchman Jean Paul Divasse. As the weather warms, the foliage adopts a rich red, embellished with a summertime plethora of buttonlike pinkish white blooms and later, decorative scarlet seed heads. Winter reveals a dense, vigorous framework of attractive peeling bark, proving 'Coppertina' to be a shrub for all seasons. No special care required, easily hedged and indispensable as a specimen, it deserves a commanding position in your garden. (pp#16371)

Another colored Ninebark bred in France for the dramatic orange-copper spring foliage that, with maturity, changes to rich red. A cross between dark 'Diablo' and golden 'Darks Gold'. White button-like blooms appear in early and look wonderful against the dark foliage. Also, it has wonderful peeling bark and red seed capsules. PP16371

This French hybrid is a feast for the eyes with its coppery orange spring growth. As the season progresses, the foliage deepens to red. This variety has the typical ninebark habit, including its white blooms midseason that shine bright against the warm colored foliage and are followed by red seed capsules. In winter the shredded copper bark is a lovely sight on older stems; this is a year round performer! PPAF
