CANARY CHEERS™ Ninebark is a variety of Eastern ninebark. Eastern ninebark is a deciduous shrub that is native to the south-eastern parts of North America, where it is found along streams and in dry areas such as woodlands and rocky areas. Ninebark is named for its peeling bark on mature branches which reveal lighter bark underneath, although this is only notieable in winter when the leaves have fallen. In late spring it bears clusters of small pink or white flowers. CANARY CHEERS™ Ninebark grows to a height of 6 feet and a width of 6 feet with a rounded form. The plant can be pruned after flowering or cut right back in late winter.

Ninebark is a tough plant and can withstand many gardening challenges such as drought, clay soil, and rocky soil, and is suitable for use in stabilizing eroded slopes. It is also useful as a screen or hedge and in native plant gardens. Because of its bright foliage color CANARY CHEERS™ makes a good accent shrub or backdrop for blue or purple flowers.
