Description
Physocarpus 'Summer Wine', commonly known as Ninebark, is a woody landscape shrub valued for its white to pale pink flowers. It typically matures 4–8 feet tall and 4–8 feet wide. Grow it in full sun to partial shade in average, well-drained garden soil. Its native range or documented parentage is cultivated selection derived from Physocarpus opulifolius, native to eastern and central North America. Its flowers can provide seasonal forage for bees and other beneficial insects. In the landscape, it works well in specimen plantings, mixed borders, and foundation plantings. Good siting and appropriate moisture help maintain its best form through the season.
Benefits
