Physocarpus "Diabolo" coming into leaf.

Very attractive plant.

Lovely rich colour David...very chocolately ! Mmm

Any nearer to the name of your mystery shrub David?

Many Thanks, folks!

Bb, this shrub has been transported with me through 3 gardens, and is still in its temporary planter - so glad that I kept this one. Yes, it suits our theme well, and will be transplanted asap! :-)

Janette - not yet, the name just eludes me right now. About to post on the ?s pages! :-)

Good luck on your quest to find that name David ,I am intrigued to know myself ,probable a shrub we both know ....
