Physocarpus 'Lady in Red'

Eye-catching and reliable, this ‘Lady in Red’ shrub could not be simpler to care for, yet still offers an invaluable spark of colour for months with serrated red leaves and summertime blooms.

The stems of this tall and bushy variety are brown, with a mahogany-like tint when young. Fascinating lobed leaves coat the plant in a rich shade of wine red, holding firm across spring and summer.

Summer sun encourages the appearance of clustering pinkish white rounded flowers in flurries, forming an idyllic contrast against the dark foliage. The blooms are soon followed by autumnal red berries to complete the attraction.

Supremely easy to grow and weather-proof once established, this hardy Physocarpus thrives whether grown in sun or shade, truly standing out in a mixed border alongside bright flowering perennials.

Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come.

Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready for planting.
