Little Devil Ninebark is upright and compact with burgundy foliage.  Small pink to white flowers appear in the spring.  It works well for massing or as an accent in the garden.  The foliage turns more purple in the fall, and the peeling bark adds winter interest.

This shrub can grow in partial sun to full sun but appreciates some afternoon shade.  It adapts to a wide range of soils.  It has no serious pests or diseases.
