Description

A bit of bold whimsy for the landscape or garden. Summer Wine® Rosé ninebark has all the great attributes of the original Summer Wine® ninebark, including colorful foliage, mildew resistance, and stability, but also has attractive pink flowers, buds, and seed capsules. The fresh pink spring blooms that cover the arching branches stand out against the deep purple foliage and bring in lots of native pollinators. This native Physocarpus opulifolius is extremely adaptable to soils and has great drought tolerance once established. Summer Wine® Rosé ninebark flowers prolifically in a container and presents a neat and tidy habit that stuns at retail.

Soil

Extremely adaptable to soil pH and moisture levels.

Pruning

To best enjoy its naturally graceful habit, avoid habitual cutting back. If required, prune after flowering or thin out oldest stems in late winter/early spring. May benefit from periodic rejuvenation pruning.

Uses

Foundation plantings; mixed borders; specimen; hedging; landscaping.

Growing Tips

Though physocarpus can grow in part shade, flowering, foliage color, and disease resistance is best with a minimum of six hours of sun. Physocarpus is amenable to pruning and recovers from it quickly; however, frequent cutting back may cause the plant to develop an odd habit.
