  • Description

  • Notes

Intense reddish-purple foliage holds its color all summer long on this upright, arching deciduous shrub. Adding to Diabolo ninebark's attractions are the summer-time clusters of creamy white to pinkish flowers. Plant in full sun for best color, though in periods of extreme high heat it may become more deep bronzy green than purple. Fall color is orange. Moderate grower to 8 to 10 feet tall and wide.
