Physocarpus opulifolius ‘Little Devil’, commonly known as ‘Little Devil’ ninebark, is a deciduous ornamental shrub with a compact and very dense habit, prized for its dark purple, almost black foliage which retains its intensity throughout the season. Narrower and more structured than many other cultivars, it is perfectly suited for small gardens, low hedges, and foundation plantings. In spring, it produces corymbs of small, pinkish-white flowers that elegantly contrast with the dark foliage and attract pollinators. Very hardy and adaptable, Physocarpus opulifolius ‘Little Devil’ tolerates various types of well-drained soil and resists northern climatic conditions. Ideal in beds or in contrast with lighter foliage, it brings lasting depth and structure to residential landscaping.
