{"product_id":"panther-ninebark","title":"Panther® Ninebark","description":"\u003cp\u003ePanther® Ninebark gives gardeners bold, dark color without the size or upkeep of many older ninebarks. This compact Physocarpus opulifolius cultivar grows about 4-5′ tall and 2-3′ wide, making it an easy fit for foundations, mixed borders and smaller native plantings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCreate contrast without crowding the bed\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePanther® brings the look of a dark accent column to the landscape. Its narrow, upright shape tucks into tight spaces where wider shrubs would feel too large. Use it to anchor a border, add depth near lighter foliage or create a small privacy grouping that stays dense from the ground up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKeep rich color through the season\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe foliage opens crimson in spring, then deepens to near-black purple and holds that saturated look through the growing season. That strong color helps chartreuse, silver, pale green and variegated plants stand out, even if you are not a trained garden designer. It gives the planting a polished, high-contrast look with very little effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEnjoy cleaner foliage and less fuss\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePanther® offers improved powdery mildew resistance compared with some older ninebarks, helping the leaves stay more attractive in humid summers. It also tolerates full sun to partial shade, a wide range of soils and both dry and moist average landscape conditions. For busy gardeners, that means fewer special demands and more reliable performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdd native value in every season\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLate-spring to early-summer pinkish flower clusters offer nectar and pollen for bees and other pollinators. Red to burgundy capsule-like fruits add subtle fall texture and may provide food for birds. As the plant matures, dark stems and peeling reddish-brown bark show more clearly in winter, giving front walks, foundations and mixed borders interest after the leaves drop.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spring Hills Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51949494501672,"sku":"14211","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/5784\/1448\/files\/01a091c8-024d-7dd4-bca5-e9cee417af42_20f61e37-0d24-4750-8bbc-d1067f0cd352.jpg?v=1791387773","url":"https:\/\/springhillnursery.live\/products\/panther-ninebark","provider":"Spring Hill Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
