Physocarpus opulifolius 'Panther'

Physocarpus opulifolius 'Panther' is prized for its deep, nearly black foliage, adding a dramatic presence to borders. This deciduous shrub boasts rich, dark purple leaves that are most intense when grown in full sun. The maple-like foliage provides a striking contrast to clusters of pinkish-white flowers that appear in early summer. Come autumn, the foliage takes on purple and orange shades before falling. Mature specimens also feature attractive peeling bark through the winter months. This adaptable shrub is easy to grow in most soils in sun or partial shade. Ultimate height: 2m (6.5ft). Ultimate spread: 1.5m to 2m (4.9 to 6.5ft).Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size.
