Physocarpus opulifolius 'Little Angel'
Physocarpus opulifolius 'Little Angel', commonly known as 'Little Angel' ninebark, is a very compact deciduous ornamental shrub cherished for its rich purple foliage and ideal size for small gardens. This variety forms a dense, rounded small bush perfect for borders, flowerbeds, and foundation plantings. Its finely cut foliage emerges in spring in deep purplish-red hues and maintains this dark and elegant coloration throughout the season. In early summer, delicate pinkish-white flowers grouped in rounded corymbs appear above the foliage, attracting pollinators. After flowering, small decorative reddish fruits extend the plant's visual interest. Very hardy and easy to grow, this ninebark tolerates ordinary soils well, as well as moderate drought and urban conditions.
