Description
Summer Wine® Black Ninebark brings dramatic color to Massachusetts landscapes with its near-black foliage. Leaves emerge deep wine-red in spring before darkening to a bold purple-black, beautifully highlighting the white flower clusters in late spring. In fall, the rich foliage turns brilliant red, providing a striking contrast against its dark red branches.
This durable ninebark variety features peeling bark and abundant red seed capsules from early to mid-fall. Its rounded growth habit and fine texture make it ideal for borders, hedges, or accent plantings. Summer Wine® Black Ninebark thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it a stunning yet low-maintenance choice.
Each plant comes in a #3 (3 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
