Physocarpus opulifolius 'Lady in Red'. Photographed yesterday, 3 June 2017, at Reedie Cottage Gardens, East Scotland. Also know as Ninebark 'Lady in Red'. A hardy shrub with rich bright red foliage, which has attractive dense small pale pink flowers that are star shaped. I think 'Lady in Red' is a great addition to any garden, and adds a splash of colour to any border. #physocarpus #ladyinred #brightredfoliage #palepikflowers #reediecottagegarden

I've also got Physocarpus opulifolius 'Darts Gold' in the gardens, and the foliage is great as a backdrop for other brightly colored plants, but the flowers on 'Dart's Gold', almost disappear amongst the fo
