Description

An outstanding selection of our native Ninebark providing year round ornamental interest. In early summer, rounded clusters of large pink flowers are freely formed along gracefully arching branches. Beautiful seedpods turn a rich red-burgundy when dried and are excellent for dried floral arrangements. Richly-colored bright-red spring foliage becomes a glossy chestnut red in summer which is retained throughout the growing season. The easily grown, fast maturing small compact specimen performs well even in dry sandy soils. Full sun will ensure the best foliage coloration.
