Physocarpus opulifolius 'Magic Ball'

Description

Physocarpus are prized for their beautifully coloured, lobed foliage, but Physocarpus opulifolius ‘Magic Ball’ takes this one step further – delivering a stunning spectacle of changing hues from spring until autumn.

The foliage emerges amber orange in spring, transitioning to yellow and green in summer, before deepening to rich crimson and maroon in the autumn. Additional interest is provided by white, pollinator-friendly flowers from July to September.

Its petite proportions make it perfect for structural planting in smaller gardens or even patio containers and courtyards. With its constantly changing foliage display, this undemanding shrub really earns its place, providing a long season of interest and a beautiful foil to flowering plants. Winner of Best New Shrub at the 2022 Horticultural Trades Association National Plant Show. Height and spread: 1.3m (4.2ft).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
