A prized cultivar discovered in the 1960s, 'Copper Penny' represents a remarkable achievement in T. crocata breeding, combining enhanced size with an intoxicating fragrance and distinctive copper-orange blooms.
Key features:
- Larger growth habit than standard T. crocata
- Intensely fragrant copper-orange flowers
- Thick, silvery-green foliage
- Superior clumping ability
- Honeysuckle-like perfume
The specimen in the image displays the cultivar's distinctive characteristics - elegant, thread-like leaves covered in silvery trichomes, creating a ethereal appearance. The copper-orange flower emerges dramatically from silver bracts, offering a stunning contrast to the plant's silvery foliage. Each leaf exhibits the characteristic twisted, channeled form that helps the plant efficiently capture moisture and nutrients.
Collector's note: This cultivar's fascinating history traces back to Mike Kashkin of Fuchsialand Nursery in California, possibly originating from a wild collection in Brazil. Its larger size and unique flower color distinguish it from both the standard yellow form and the related 'Rutschmann Orange' cultivar.
