____ A striking, medium-fast-growing shrub, 3 to 4 m tall and equally
wide, with many side shoots from ground level; young shoots
mahagony-bronze, older shoots dark bronze with chapped, flaky
bark; leaves metallic dark red, turning bronze-red in autumn, up
to 13 cm long, with mainly 5 lobes, either curly toothed or pointed;
flowers appear in June/July, borne in up to 5 cm wide umbellated
racemes, creamy white with yellow throat and stamens,
giving a strong contrast to the dark red foliage - ´Diabolo´ was
selected as the only red-leaved plant from 120,000 seedlings
of P. opulifolius by H. T. SCHADENDORF, Ellerbek; a new and
extraordinary ornamental shrub with a distinct colour intensity,
especially effective in combination with yellow-leaved woody
plants. Value of this cultivar lies not only in the colour tone of
its foliage - it is absolutely frost-hardy, tolerant to heat, dryness
or wetness. It grows in sunny or shady positions in either moist,
dry, acidic or even calcareous soils. It is suitable as specimen
plant, for planting in groups or for hedges. It also serves as protection
against wind and gives good visual barrier, is suitable for
bird protection, as a honey-producing plant or for floral decoration.
