The Ninebark, or Physocarpus opulifolius, is a striking deciduous shrub that is a host plant for the caterpillars of the red-spotted purple and small-eyed sphinx butterflies. Growing up to 8 feet in height and spreading up to 10 feet, this shrub is known for its attractive peeling bark and dense, mounded form. It thrives in a variety of growing conditions, including full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, making it a versatile and low-maintenance addition to any garden or landscape. With a rich history of use among Native American tribes, the Ninebark was traditionally used for its medicinal properties and its durable bark for making rope and cordage. In the modern landscape, it is prized for its ornamental beauty and its ability to attract beneficial insects to the garden.
