Diablo Ninebark

Diablo Ninebark (Physocarpus opulifolius 'Diabolo') is a stunning deciduous shrub renowned for its dark and dramatic foliage. The leaves of this variety emerge as deep purple or burgundy in spring and maintain their rich color throughout the growing season, creating a striking contrast in the garden. The shrub showcases clusters of small white to pinkish flowers in late spring or early summer, adding a touch of elegance to its already captivating appearance. These blooms give way to attractive red seed capsules that persist well into autumn, extending the visual interest of the plant. With an upright and arching growth habit, Diablo Ninebark can reach a height and spread of 6 to 10 feet, making it an excellent choice for borders, hedges, or as a focal point in the landscape. This cultivar is known for its tolerance of various soil conditions and its ability to thrive in both full sun and partial shade. Diablo Ninebark not only provides year-round interest with its remarkable foliage and flowers but also attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies to the garden. Its hardiness and low maintenance requirements make it a popular choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners.
