A Dramatic Landscape Display
Every great glass of wine deserves its perfect pairing, and your outdoor space is no different. Summer Wine® Black ninebark (Physocarpus opulifolius) is an excellent selection, with deep purple-black foliage that contrasts beautifully against the bright blooms and lush green leaves of your landscape.
For the garden sommelier, Summer Wine Black ninebark delivers notes of drama and sophistication. While typically enjoyed for its very dark foliage, its white and pink spring flowers are equally appealing, drawing in a mix of busy pollinators. Reaching 5-6 feet tall and wide, it works wonderfully as both an eye-catching centerpiece or high-impact accent.
Summer Wine Black ninebark has a solid and reliable finish. Suited best to USDA zones 3-7, it thrives in full sun. It is a tough plant, adapting to most soil types and moisture levels. Thanks to impressive disease resistance, its dark foliage remains unblemished and free of powdery mildew.
