Summer Wine Ninebark

Summer Wine Ninebark (Physocarpus opulifolius 'Seward') is a stunning deciduous shrub known for its rich, wine-colored foliage and attractive form. The deep burgundy leaves create a dramatic backdrop in the garden, providing a striking contrast against green foliage or other vibrant plants. As the name suggests, Summer Wine Ninebark offers a beautiful display of foliage throughout the summer months. In addition to its foliage, this variety produces clusters of delicate pinkish-white flowers in late spring to early summer, adding a touch of elegance to the shrub. These flowers give way to small red fruit capsules that persist into the fall, providing additional visual interest. The compact and upright growth habit of Summer Wine Ninebark makes it suitable for smaller landscapes and gardens. It typically reaches a height of 4 to 6 feet with a similar spread. This shrub is easy to care for and thrives in full sun to partial shade. It is adaptable to various soil types and is generally resistant to pests and diseases. Summer Wine Ninebark is an excellent choice for adding color, texture, and interest to garden beds, borders, or as a focal point in the landscape. Its deep wine-colored foliage and graceful form make it a standout plant that will enhance the beauty of any outdoor space.
