Product description
“Dart’s Gold” is a hardy, deciduous plant that will brighten up the colour scheme in your garden. The three-lobed, ovate leaves are fantastic colour additions to your garden and landscaping. The brilliant chartreuse or bright-green coloured foliage will light up your garden.
White to pink flowers with reddish centres form on rounded corymbs in May and June. These flowers add a gentle scent to the air. After the flowering, small, gently drooping clusters of reddish fruit form and decorate the plant.
During the winter months, its appealing papery bark comes into view as the leaves have autumnen away. In addition, it tolerates full sun as well as partial shade.
As it is thicket-forming, pruning is suggested after flowering. If the plant becomes out of shape, stalks can be trimmed back to the base and reset with a total pruning down to about a foot in height above the ground.
Make this decorative Ninebark part of your informal woodland or cottage setting. Or put it in groups to use as a shrub border or as a backdrop of your flower bed.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Physocarpus thrives in full sun or partial shade. Prune in early spring to maintain shape and encourage new growth.
How to Water
Water Physocarpus regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Once established, they are fairly drought-tolerant but still benefit from occasional deep watering.
How to Plant
Plant Physocarpus in well-drained soil with good sunlight. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball and position the plant so the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill, firm the soil, and water thoroughly.
