Family Rosaceae

Physocarpus opulifolius 'Burgundy Candy', known as 'Burgundy Candy' ninebark, is a deciduous ornamental shrub valued for its deep purple foliage and compact habit. This variety forms a dense, rounded bush that integrates perfectly into borders, flowerbeds, and shrub masses. Its finely cut foliage emerges in spring in rich burgundy hues that maintain their intensity throughout the season, offering an elegant contrast with lighter-leaved plants. In early summer, the shrub produces small, pinkish-white flowers grouped in rounded corymbs that attract pollinators and stand out beautifully against the dark foliage. After flowering, small decorative reddish fruits appear, extending the plant's visual interest. Very hardy and easy to grow, this ninebark tolerates ordinary soils and cold climates.
