Physocarpus opulifolius 'Alouette'
Physocarpus opulifolius 'Alouette', known as 'Alouette' ninebark, is a deciduous ornamental shrub prized for its compact habit and rich purple foliage. This variety forms a dense, rounded bush that easily integrates into shrub beds, structured borders, and decorative hedges. Its finely cut foliage emerges in spring in deep purplish-red hues that maintain their intensity throughout the season. In early summer, the shrub produces small pinkish-white flowers clustered in rounded corymbs, elegantly contrasting with the dark foliage and attracting pollinators. After flowering, small decorative reddish fruits appear, extending the plant's visual appeal. Very hardy and easy to maintain, this ninebark tolerates ordinary soils, urban conditions, and cold climates well.
