Physocarpus opulifolius (L.) Maxim.
The inflorescences of Physocarpus opulifolius are corymbose, hemispherical structures with a diameter ranging from 2.5 to 7 cm. They are a key indicator of the plant's ornamental value, characterized by high bud density and a specific visual effect created by long stamens.
In the reference 28 varieties crop Ninebark, where this is mentioned in the description.
The inflorescences of Physocarpus opulifolius are classified as corymbs, often described as hemispherical or capitate. Depending on varietal characteristics and growing conditions, the diameter of a single inflorescence varies from 2.5 to 7 cm, with dense inflorescences containing more than 30 buds.
The ornamental value of the inflorescences is determined by their shape, formed by long stamens, and their contrast against the foliage, which is most pronounced in red-leaved varieties. After the end of the flowering period, which lasts 2–3 weeks in June, the inflorescences form follicles that change color throughout the season.
