The colors of Ninebark (Physocarpus sp.) are a bright addition to a sunny area. One planting of these that always catches my attention is near the on ramps between 7 hwy and 10 Hwy here in Olathe. They are HUGE, have dark purple-red leaves and arching stems. They are pretty impressive right now, but when they start blooming in a few weeks they will blow you away. Keep a look out for them on you way out to the nursery. In the mean time, here are a few photos of the varieties we have in stock right now:
Coppertina is really the most colorful with several colors blending together on each leaf.
Summer Wine Ninebark is a very dark purple green color and will darken even more as the season progresses.
Darts Gold Ninebark is a glowing variety with bright golden-chartreuse foliage. It really stands out next to the darker varieties.
Diablo Ninebark is the darkest with purple green foliage.
And here is what they all look like together:
