Tiny Wine® Ninebark

The Tiny Wine® Ninebark is a compact deciduous shrub growing no more than 5 feet tall and perhaps 4 feet wide. It is dense and bushy, covered from top to bottom with small ruffled leaves in deep wine-red. The color lasts from spring through summer, and then in fall the leaves turn brighter red, ending in a brilliant scarlet display. In late spring a profusion of small pink and white flowers decorate it further, making this beautiful shrub an asset in every garden. Very cold-resistant, it is ideal for colder zones and sunny, exposed places. Perfect in shrub beds, as a hedge, or mass-planted on banks and sloping ground.

• Bold wine-red leaves through spring and summer
• Abundant pink and white flowers in late spring
• Bright red fall leaves round out the season
• Compact and dense, with small ruffled leaves
• Very hardy and reliable even in cold zones

Full sun is needed to bring out the full colors of the Tiny Wine® Ninebark, and the leaves will be greener if it is grown in shade. Plant in any soil, including urban soils and poor locations, including clays and gravels. Don’t plant in flooded ground, but this plant tolerates a wide range of soils. Deer, insects and diseases don’t cause problems, and it can be pruned in spring or trimmed as needed. A shrub that is super-tough and super-easy.
