Tiny Wine Ninebark
Overview: A ninebark grown for its deep wine-red foliage.
Mature size: Varies by cultivar, from 2–3 ft. dwarf forms up to the species' full 5–10 ft..
Sun exposure: Full sun to partial shade; best foliage color in full sun
Flowering season: Late spring into early summer
Hardiness: USDA Zones 3–7
Water needs: Average; adaptable to a wide range of soils, including wet ones
Special features: A dwarf selection, more compact than most ninebark cultivars. Tough, adaptable, native deciduous shrub with clusters of small white or pink flowers; exfoliating bark on mature stems reveals reddish-brown inner bark for winter interest; prune right after bloom, no later than mid-August, since next year's flowers form on this year's growth
Wildlife value: Bees and other pollinators
Botanical name: Physocarpus opulifolius 'Tiny Wine'
