Physocarpus Opulifolius ‘Diabolo’

Diabolo Ninebark

Valued for its dark purple, almost black foliage, which creates a striking contrast with other plants in the garden. Its large leaves, which remain colourful throughout the summer, provide interesting texture and a dramatic visual effect, especially when combined with colourful flowering plants. In summer, it produces clusters of small white-pink flowers, which attract pollinators and add a light touch to the dense foliage. In autumn, its leaves turn red and orange, extending the shrub’s visual interest. Drought tolerant once established, it is also hardy against disease. Light pruning in late winter or early spring helps maintain a neat shape and stimulate vigorous new growth. Ideal for beds, hedges or modern gardens.
