Bring spring to summer interest to your garden with Physocarpus ‘Midnight’. Midnight is a ninebark with very dark, purple-black foliage and pink-white flowers in early summer.
Physocarpus, ninebark, is an easy, tough shrub with colourful foliage and clusters of small flowers in early summer. Its peeling bark adds winter interest.
Physocarpus ‘Midnight’ grows best in full sun for the best leaf colour, in any well-drained soil. It is a good choice for foliage contrast, and also works well for mixed borders, low-maintenance planting and foliage colour. Pair it with perennials and grasses for contrast.
Give the pot a good soak first. Then dig a wide planting hole, enrich the soil with compost, and plant so the top of the root ball sits level with the ground. Firm in gently and water well, then add a mulch to hold in moisture.
Water in the first year. Prune after flowering; very tough and easy. Prune after flowering. Powdery mildew can appear in dry spells.
Grows in pots. Use a loam-based compost such as John Innes No. 3, make sure the pot has drainage holes, and water regularly in summer, as containers dry out faster than borders.
Every plant is grown at our St Annes nursery in the North West, where it is raised in real British conditions. That means a tougher, well-rooted plant that settles quickly into your garden. This Physocarpus ‘Midnight’ is supplied in a 3L pot. Container-grown plants can be planted almost all year round, as long as the ground is not frozen or waterlogged; autumn and spring are ideal.
