Ninebark – Honeycomb
Physocarpus opulifolius 'Honeycomb'
Honeycomb™ Ninebark is a bright and cheerful native shrub valued for its vibrant golden-yellow foliage that lights up the landscape from spring through fall. New growth emerges with warm amber tones before maturing into brilliant chartreuse-yellow leaves that provide excellent contrast against darker shrubs and evergreens. Clusters of white flowers bloom in late spring, attracting butterflies and beneficial pollinators. Its adaptability, cold hardiness, and low-maintenance nature make Honeycomb Ninebark a fantastic addition to Wisconsin landscapes.
Height (5–8 ft.) Reaches a mature height of approximately 5 to 8 feet with a spread of 4 to 6 feet. Thrives in full sun to partial shade, with the brightest foliage color developing in sunnier locations. Produces clusters of white flowers in late spring and attractive seed heads that add seasonal interest. Excellent for mixed borders, foundation plantings, privacy screens, and pollinator gardens.
