Physocarpus opulifolius 'Minion' brings bold colour and charm to small gardens, containers, or borders with its compact, dwarf habit and stunning seasonal foliage.

Young, maple-like leaves emerge a bright golden-yellow, creating a glowing spring display, while summer clusters of small white flowers attract bees, bumblebees and hoverflies. In autumn, the foliage transforms to fiery red-orange, and tiny red berries add further seasonal interest. Fully hardy and low maintenance, this adaptable shrub thrives in sun or partial shade and suits most soil types, offering reliable colour and wildlife appeal with minimal effort. Ultimate height and spread: 1.2m to 1.5m (4 to 4.9ft).

Compact shrub with golden-yellow maple-like leaves in spring that transform to fiery orange in autumn Plant Physocarpus in a fertile, moist, well-drained soil in full sun or semi-shade.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
