Pacific Ninebark
Physocarpus capitatus
Round clusters of white flowers cover long arching branches from late spring to early summer. Showy pinkish-brown seed heads remain on the plant through the summer, and attractive peeling bark adds winter interest. Pacific Ninebark has a dense root system and is a great choice for stabilizing banks or adding valuable habitat, or in a large rain garden.
