Create a dramatic display of rich foliage and beautiful summer flowers with this great value pack of 3 individual Physocarpus ‘Lady in Red’ Shrubs, supplied as large, established plants approximately 3–4ft tall, each grown in its own individual 3 litre pot by Direct Plants. Carefully grown and selected at our award-winning family nursery in Norfolk, these striking ornamental shrubs are prized for their deep red-purple foliage, contrasting pink-white flowers, attractive peeling bark, and superb seasonal interest.
Physocarpus ‘Lady in Red’, commonly known as Ninebark, is an outstanding deciduous shrub that brings rich colour and texture to borders from spring through autumn. Fresh new foliage emerges in beautiful shades of red and burgundy before developing deeper wine-purple tones, creating a superb contrast against green-leaved shrubs and flowering perennials.
During late spring and early summer, established plants produce attractive rounded clusters of delicate pink buds opening to soft pink-white flowers. These blooms stand beautifully against the darker foliage and are attractive to bees and other beneficial pollinating insects.
As the plants mature, their attractive stems develop the characteristic peeling bark associated with Ninebark, providing additional texture and winter interest after the leaves have fallen.
This great value pack contains 3 large individual plants, making it ideal for creating a coordinated display, developing an informal flowering hedge, or positioning separately around the garden as colourful feature shrubs.
Supplied as three strong, healthy, well-established plants, each in its own 3 litre pot, these premium specimens provide excellent immediate impact and many years of reliable garden performance.
