Physocarpus opulifolius 'Diablo'

That is just lovely Spritz.

Yes I think so too, love the dark leaved shrubs !

Every time I see this shrub on GOY i'm glad I bought one last month! It doesn't have any flowers ...but next year....:)

Thanks all - I'll have to prune them back next spring, as they're in the island bed and I can't let them get too large. I'll try to leave enough growth to get flowers, though!

Love this one...

I read that Alan T. thinks it's boring! Well - sorry, Alan, it isn't!

What does he know about plants?

Dunno, Dd. (Shrugs).

very striking! have never seen it here...I like the contrast of the leaves with the flowers...
