Ninebark – Diablo
Physocarpus opulifolius 'Monlo'
Diablo® Ninebark is one of the most popular landscape shrubs thanks to its dramatic deep burgundy foliage and exceptional durability. Throughout the growing season, its rich dark leaves create a striking contrast against clusters of soft pinkish-white flowers that appear in late spring. As a native North American shrub, Diablo thrives in Wisconsin landscapes and tolerates a wide range of growing conditions. Its upright form, colorful foliage, and low-maintenance nature make it an excellent choice for privacy screens, landscape borders, and specimen plantings.
Height (8–10 ft.) Reaches a mature height of approximately 8 to 10 feet with a spread of 6 to 8 feet. Thrives in full sun for the best foliage color but tolerates partial shade. Produces clusters of pinkish-white blooms in spring followed by attractive seed heads. Excellent for privacy screens, landscape accents, pollinator gardens, and colorful shrub borders.
