| Physocarpos opulifolius Common ninebarkCulture: This tough, adaptable species does well in drought or flooded conditions, acidic or alkaline soils, and full sun to partial shade. It should be renewal pruned regularly, and transplants easily due to its shallow lateral root system. Chlorosis is an occasional problem.Usage: The limited ornamental features and high maintenance requirements make this a difficult species to site properly. It could be useful in a shrub border, in masses or as a screen, and would be ideal in naturalized situations or native restorations. The dwarf form, 'Nanus', offers additional uses. |
