Description
This is a Physocarpus collection, a trio of deciduous shrubs with colourful foliage. These varieties offer a range of colours from golden yellow to vibrant red, to dark purple almost black. Their delicate flowers, in small white or pink clusters, appear in early summer. These easy to grow, hardy plants tolerate most soils, in full sun or partial shade. Plant them in a small hedge or a shrub border.
Collection details
1 Physocarpus opulifolius 'Dart's Gold': reaches about 2m in height and 1.5m in width. Its golden yellow foliage illuminates shaded gardens from April to October. White flowering in early summer, usually in June.
1 Physocarpus opulifolius 'Lady in Red': height of 1.50m and width of 1m. Foliage in two shades of red (juvenile foliage evolving from coppery red to satiny purple), white-pink flowers. Ideal for colour contrasts.
1 Physocarpus opulifolius 'Diabolo': up to 2m in height and 1.5m in width. Dark purple foliage, turning coppery orange and red in autumn, white to pink flowers.
Physocarpus should be planted in spring or autumn. In borders, plant 'Dart's Gold' and 'Lady in Red' in the foreground to enjoy their decorative foliage, and place 'Diabolo' in the background. Maintain a distance of 80cm to 1m between each plant and plant approximately 2 to 3 plants per m² for a quick and dense effect in the border.
To create a border composed of the Physocarpus collection, place 3 plants of Miscanthus sinensis 'Gracillimus' in the background, their tall inflorescences will highlight the roundness of the shrubs. In front of the Physocarpus, plant 5 plants of Heuchera 'Forever Purple', their purple foliage and delicate pink flowering will create a beautiful border effect. To perfect the scene, integrate 7 plants of Alchemilla mollis between the heucheras. Their tender green leaves and chartreuse yellow flowers will bring a bright and delicate touch to the front of the border.
To create a small hedge, plant 3 Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight' between the Physocarpus. Their large white and pink inflorescences in summer perfectly complement the colourful foliage. In the border, plant 7 Geranium 'Rozanne'.

Planting and care
Plant Physocarpus in deep, humus-bearing, rich and moist soil, neutral to acidic (they don't like calcareous and dry soils in summer). Avoid letting the soil dry out in summer and shower the foliage during heatwaves. This bush will thrive in partial shade or full sun, but the foliage colours will be more pronounced if planted in a sunny location. Thin out overly dense plants and prune back some of the arching stems after flowering. This can promote the emergence of new flower buds in late summer. Physocarpus tends to produce many suckers, to the detriment of the main plant; it may be helpful to prune it back severely in late winter to give it a denser appearance.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
