Pickleball
Physocarpus 'SMNPOE'
A mini ninebark with a big impact. Pickleball is the smallest ninebark on the market at just around 3’ tall and wide. Its small mounding habit is a perfect addition to the front of the border or in mass plantings. This native Physocarpus opulifolius has bright green foliage and darling white flowers that native bees and other pollinators will love just as much as you will. The vibrant foliage also makes a great foliage filler in cut flower arrangements. Not only is Pickleball ninebark adorable, it's also incredibly tough, showing good disease resistance, excellent drought tolerance, and good adaptability to soils. This ninebark is sure to make an impact at retail with its cute-as-a-button container presentation.
