Physocarpus opulifolius Proven Winners© SUMMER WINE BLACK (PBR) is a deciduous shrub grown for its exceptionally dark foliage and upright, space-conscious habit. The leaves emerge deep purple and quickly mature to an almost black tone, giving the plant a strong, modern presence that holds steady through the season. In early summer, small clusters of pale flowers appear sparingly against the dark leaves, providing contrast without shifting attention away from the foliage. The shrub develops a narrow, well-branched framework that stays balanced and vertical, making it easier to integrate into borders than broader ninebark varieties. Designed for impact without excess size, SUMMER WINE BLACK delivers bold colour, clean structure, and reliable performance with minimal intervention.
