AKA Copper leaf! For those of us the like Copper leaf plants was in Lowes today and they got some. Pretty cheap at $4.38 ea. They are fast growing and beautiful IMO. This was the first time I seen them for sale locally. Last fall I mail ordered one from Miami area the it about 4 foot tall and two foot wide and doing real good. If anybody interested I left few at Lowes, there going quick better hurry. I might just go back and get the rest of them:MOJE_whot:

About a 15% chance Copper Leaf will die from freeze in this area.

Heck, there's about 45% chance anything I plant will die:cryin2:. So I'll take 15% all day long.

Friend got one that's been frozen back 4 times to the ground and it comes back bigger and better ever time. Read where they are easy to start for twigs. I haven't tried that yet due to I only had one and didn't want to invite rot or disease. Now that I will about 4 going I'll may try it. Need cut bunch of Holly bushes anyway. Hate them.
