Family Rosaceae

Physocarpus opulifolius ‘Amber Jubilee’, commonly known as ‘Amber Jubilee’ ninebark, is a deciduous ornamental shrub with a rounded, dense habit, remarkable for its spectacular foliage evolution. In spring, young shoots emerge in bright coppery-orange and golden-yellow tones, then transition to chartreuse green in summer before returning to orange hues in autumn. Its spring bloom, consisting of corymbs of slightly pinkish, creamy-white flowers, attracts pollinators and contrasts delicately with the colorful foliage. Very hardy and adaptable, Physocarpus opulifolius ‘Amber Jubilee’ tolerates a wide variety of well-drained soils and performs particularly well in full sun, where its coloration is more intense. Ideal for beds, informal hedges, or as a specimen plant, it brings brightness, structure, and prolonged seasonal interest to residential landscapes.
