Ginger Wine® Ninebark

The Ginger Wine® Ninebark is a cold-hardy deciduous shrub with attractive foliage that is fast growing and thrives even on poor soil. It grows 5 to 6 feet tall, with arching branches reaching out about the same distance. In spring the lobed leaves are a vibrant deep orange, with reddish overtones, and in summer they turn to a powerful deep red. This variety holds its color well right into fall. In late spring you will love the clusters of white flowers that stud the branches, glowing against the dark leaves. When the leaves have fallen the bright-red seed pods really stand out along the branches. Use this tough guy at the back of shrub beds, along a fence or property line, on slopes and banks, and anywhere you need trouble-free color all season.

• Tough reliable and colorful shrub with arching branches
• Spring leaves are a bold reddish-orange
• Summer and fall leaves are deep, rich, dark-red
• White flowers in late spring are followed by bright-red seed pods
• Super cold resistant and grows well on very poor soil

Plant the Ginger Wine® Ninebark in full sun for the best colors. Any well-drained soil, including dry sands and gravels, tough clays, and urban or post-construction soils, will suit it just fine. Pests or diseases are not problems, and deer tend to leave it alone. It looks best left untrimmed, and older plants can be rejuvenated just by removing a few branches right at the base.
