Physocarpus 'Dart's Gold'
FamilyRosaceae
Physocarpus opulifolius ‘Dart’s Gold’, also known as Dart’s Gold Ninebark, is a deciduous ornamental shrub with a broad, rounded habit, renowned for its bright golden-yellow foliage that illuminates beds from spring to summer. When budding, young leaves emerge a vibrant yellow, then transition to a softer yellow-green during the season, all while maintaining a beautiful colorful presence in full sun. In spring, corymbs of small, slightly pinkish cream-white flowers delicately contrast with the light foliage and attract pollinators. Vigorous and very hardy, Physocarpus opulifolius ‘Dart’s Gold’ tolerates a wide variety of well-drained soils and adapts to northern climates. Ideal for informal hedges, bright beds, or contrasted with purple foliage, it brings lasting volume, color, and structure to the garden.
