Physocarpus opulifolius 'Nugget'

I have the dark-leaved one - grows like mad!

I hope so. It is doing very well for a new rooted cutting. I am anxiously waiting to see the flowers when they open. The dark leaved plants are great for highlighting other plants I find. I have been digging and planting in the front garden south border where I dug out a kerria which was through everything. It will never grow free in my garden again. At 10' high and at least 30' spreading roots I can live with it in a pot from now on. The neighbouring shrubs suffered because of it as they had to grow lanky to reach the light.

Me too Ojibway.....and i have 'darts gold'....This is a nice one Scotsg...:>)_

Thank you both. Scottish grew it from a cutting. She brought it down when she came on a flying visit last week. I now know where it is going but I need to get the area weed and grass free. Have had to sacrifice (not) another bit of lawn.

I too have a dark purplish one ( don't remember its name) but it is lovely and grows well and has beautiful peeling bark ,that is a lovely fresh green look forward to seeing autunm photos :)))

It should look more golden lime green but I put it under a bush to save it from the awful weather we have been having.

That's coming along nicely Sheila. I think the more sun it gets the lighter is becomes Sheila - my one is in full sun so is much more golden in colour. If you ever want a dark coloured on let me know - I have an other little cutting like this growing away in a wee pot.

Yes please Angie. You certainly know how to get them to take. I was in our local GC today and they had a Darts Gold in the rescue corner so I popped it in the trolley. It looks a bit neglected but it has strong shoots growing from the bottom of the main stem. I will plant this one in full sun but I was worried it might fly away in the wind so have had it in shelter until it gets planted.

No probs Sheila. It now has your name on it :)
Didn't do anything other than snip of bits and put in compost. They must take very easy if I can get them to grow roots :)
Hope your rescue comes good :)
