Description

Selected by Minnesota breeder Dr. Harold Pellet, this hybrid Ninebark is distinguished by its uniquely colored foliage. Emerging glowing golden yellow-green spring foliage gradually changes to burgundy, which contrasts nicely throughout the growing season. Rounded clusters of creamy white flowers during late spring into early summer. Tolerant of a wide range of soil types and conditions, this easily grown native performs best in an open sunny location where its unique foliage is displayed to perfection.
