Is Physocarpus my favorite shrub? There are plenty of reasons that it might be. It's a North American native which means it's well adapted to grow in many locations with variable conditions. It has 3 harvest seasons. You can cut when it flowers in the spring, in the summer and in autumn when it has bright red berries, or cut anytime you need some foliage! The new growth on Magical Springfire glows with coral and red tones that literally stopped us in our tracks last summer in Holland. We slammed on the brakes on our golf cart when we came around the corner and saw this glowing beauty. The foliage will gradually turn burgundy as the season progresses. Generally, new growth can be harvested from mid-summer onward. If you have trouble with it wilting, just try again in a couple of weeks when the growth is more mature.

When we had our farm, Lisianthus, Physocarpus and Hydrangea were the holy trinity of our late season market bouquets and florist deliveries.

Cut to ground each fall for tall whip-like growth the following year, or leave the growth on the plant over winter to harvest in flower and berry stages. You can even cut back half of each plant to produce some flowers while producing fresh bouquet-sized foliage growth as well. Adaptable to most soil types and fully hardy. I do love this plant!
