Product description
The “Lady in Red” is a unique plant to use for hedging and landscaping accents. It is a deciduous shrub which will lose its leaves at the end of each season. The leaves can vary in colors from golden reds to deep purplish crimsons.
The leaves are of a delicate, almost paper-like design. Another distinctive feature is the shrub also has a paper-like bark which peels and sheds from the main branches.
The pale-pink to cream-coloured flowers form in summer in corymbs, flowerheads that have buds clustered together in a wider plane from a single stalk. After the season of flowers, it forms brown, bladder-like fruits.
The Physocarpus is good to plant in sun to partially shaded areas. Please keep in mind, the amount of sunlight it receives affects the brilliance of the leaves.
The shrub is great for urban settings as it both provides unusual landscaping accents and tolerates poorer air quality. As such, it can be great for urban hedging and accenting beds and borders.

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.
