Pacific ninebark
Physocarpus capitatus
Pacific ninebark is a hardy, fast-growing native shrub well-suited to moist, partly shaded spots in Pacific Northwest gardens. It requires minimal care once established and tolerates a range of soil conditions including clay. Its clusters of white flowers in spring attract pollinators, while the peeling, multi-layered bark provides year-round visual interest.
