Physocarpus opulifolius 'Lemon Candy'
Physocarpus opulifolius 'Lemon Candy', known as 'Lemon Candy' ninebark, is a deciduous ornamental shrub particularly valued for its bright lemon-yellow foliage and compact habit. This variety forms a dense, rounded bush that adds a lot of light to shrub beds, borders, and sunny flowerbeds. In spring, the young leaves emerge in a vibrant lemon-yellow hue that maintains its beautiful brightness throughout the season, especially in full sun. In early summer, the shrub produces small, pinkish-white flowers clustered in rounded corymbs that attract pollinators and elegantly contrast with the light foliage. After flowering, small decorative reddish fruits appear, extending the plant's visual interest. Very hardy and easy to care for, this ninebark tolerates ordinary soils and cold weather conditions well.
