Physocarpus opulifolius Diable D'Or ('Mindia') (PBR)
ninebark
This decorative deciduous shrub is mainly grown for its colourful foliage, which emerges a vibrant coppery red and turns deeper, purple-red as it matures. In midsummer, there are also rounded clusters of near-white flowers, which offer a striking contrast. Later in the summer and lasting well into autumn, these flowers are followed by glossy red berries. A highly ornamental plant that will liven things up in the shrub border.
