Physocarpus opulifolius Cougar Cub™

: Bright yellow leaves will illuminate your landscape

An improvement over standard ninebarks, Cougar Cubs’ enhanced winter hardiness brings bright color to the garden ahead of all the others. Soon after your frost-free date, bright yellow leaves will illuminate your landscape followed by clusters of lovely white flowers later in spring. Flowers give way to striking, coral-red fruits that hold their color for 2-3 weeks. Compact and neat, you’re going to love this playful new selection from our breeder and friend, David Zlesak!
