1 Physocarpus Raspberry Lemonade Ninebark Plant, Hardy Flowering Shrub, 3 Litre Root Ball

Physocarpus Raspberry Lemonade Ninebark – Hardy Flowering Shrub

Physocarpus opulifolius 'Raspberry Lemonade' is a stunning deciduous shrub celebrated for its striking, multi-toned foliage that evolves beautifully through the seasons. New leaves emerge in fresh shades of lemon-yellow and lime-green before maturing into rich raspberry-red tones, creating a captivating display of colour from spring right through to autumn. In late spring to early summer, clusters of small, delicate white to pale pink flowers appear, adding further interest and attracting pollinators to the garden.

This compact and bushy Ninebark variety is low-maintenance, reliably hardy and tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions, making it an excellent choice for borders, mixed shrub plantings, informal hedging or as a standout specimen in a container. It thrives in full sun, where the foliage colours are most vivid, but will also perform well in partial shade.
