Diablo Ninebark
Hazeldean Rose

Diablo Ninebark is a small, low maintenance, multi-stemmed shrub, that is used to add texture or color to any yard. This plant grows dark purple leaves in the spring and grows slightly faster than Common Ninebark. It features flaky red to brown bark, clusters of white flowers, and long, maple-like leaves. Diablo Ninebark can make a dense and colorful hedge, or it can be an attractive ornamental by itself.

Hazeldean Rose is a perfect shrub for those who enjoy cut flowers. It blooms vigorously in late spring to early summer and is smothered in fragrant yellow double blooms that attract bees. The Hazeldean Rose is extremely cold weather hardy, making it a rare yellow rose well suited for the prairies. Resistant to blackspot, the Hazeldean Rose got her name from Robert Burns' poetry as it is "the prize of them all".
