Eastern Ninebark

Two-inch clusters of pink buds that open into starry white flowers appear in June and contrast beautifully with the dark burgundy foliage of this dwarf form of a small shrub native to eastern and central North American. It originated as a cross including Diablo®, which provided the burgundy foliage and a dwarf form of the species. Full to partial sun and average soils are among the few requirements needed for success with this 4-foot tall deciduous shrub. The early frosts of fall bring out reddish tints in the leaves, and in winter, after the leaves have dropped, the attractive exfoliating bark on the branches is revealed.
