Physocarpus opufolius
Ninebark is a deciduous shrub at about five to eight feet tall. In the Rosaceae family, it has
pinkish white flowers that bloom late spring to early summer. Leaves are three to five lobed and greenish yellow in the warmer months, turning golden copper in fall. Its dense multi-stemmed habit makes it a great barrier or privacy screen. Ninebark attracts songbirds and pollinators.
