Little Devil™ Ninebark (Physocarpus opulifolius 'Donna May') is a dwarf, upright shrub that brings rich color and texture to the landscape. Its deep maroon foliage holds its color all season and contrasts beautifully with its light pink flowers in late spring. The plant has a naturally rounded shape and peels bark as it matures, adding winter interest. Little Devil™ is highly adaptable—tolerating poor soils, drought, and urban conditions—and needs little pruning to stay neat. It’s an excellent choice for small hedges, borders, or foundation plantings where year-round impact is needed.
