Dark and dramatic, this striking deciduous shrub commands attention with its near black foliage that maintains its intense colour from spring through autumn, creating a superb contrast against lighter plants. The deeply lobed leaves have a luxurious sheen, while clusters of pale pink flowers in early summer add a delicate counterpoint to the bold foliage. More compact than many ninebarks, it forms a dense, well branched shrub perfect for creating moody accents in borders or low maintenance hedges with year round interest. Exfoliating cinnamon coloured bark provides winter texture after the leaves fall. Thriving in full sun and tolerant of poor soils, drought and urban conditions, it offers exceptional resilience with virtually no maintenance required. A superb choice for modern gardens seeking depth and sophistication in planting schemes.
