Diablo Ninebark (Physocarpus opulifolius 'Diablo') is a striking deciduous shrub known for its deep burgundy to nearly black foliage, which provides dramatic contrast in the garden throughout the growing season. In late spring to early summer, it produces clusters of small, white to pinkish flowers that stand out against the dark leaves, followed by attractive red seed capsules in fall. This hardy and low-maintenance plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and is valued for its versatility, whether used as a specimen, in mixed borders, or as a hedge. Additionally, its peeling bark—especially visible in winter—adds year-round visual interest, making Diablo Ninebark a favorite among gardeners seeking both beauty and durability.
