Ninebark Little Devil

Upright spreading habit and fine textured, dark foliage that sets it apart from other ninebark. It is also mildew resistant, so it doesn't turn into a powdery white eyesore in your garden or shrub border. Clusters of small purplish-white flowers in June contrast nicely with the burgundy foliage. This low maintenance plant adapts to wet or dry soil. Little Devil ninebark is a good substitution for barberry in areas of the country where barberry may be invasive.
