Physocarpus Summer Wine® – Deep Color, Dramatic Texture

Looking to add rich color and effortless structure to your landscape? Physocarpus Summer Wine® delivers with deep burgundy foliage, soft pink-white spring blooms, and gorgeous exfoliating bark for winter interest. This native shrub is as tough as it is beautiful—cold-hardy, deer-resistant, and easy to grow with minimal care.

It’s perfect for adding bold contrast to garden beds, hedges, or foundation plantings—and it looks just as stunning as a backdrop to perennials as it does in a stand-alone mass.
