Physocarpus opulifolius 'Midnight'®
Physocarpus opulifolius 'Midnight'® is a dramatic deciduous shrub prized for its sumptuous dark purple foliage, which is so richly coloured it often appears almost black. The deep-toned leaves provide outstanding contrast in borders and mixed planting schemes, making this variety a striking focal point throughout the growing season.
Clusters of delicate white-pink flowers emerge during May and June, creating a beautiful contrast against the dark foliage. These nectar-rich blooms attract bees and other pollinating insects, while bright red ornamental fruits follow in autumn, adding further seasonal interest and providing a valuable food source for birds.
Easy to grow and adaptable, 'Midnight'® performs well in both full sun and partial shade, where its bold foliage colour and graceful habit bring structure and depth to the garden.
