Plant Description and Details
Versatile Ninebark offers an attractive rounded structure to landscape designs. Miniature maple-like leaves turn a rosey brown or muted red after the first frost. This shrub's older stem bark tends to shred and peel - hence the name, Ninebark. It's amodest and hardy shrub. Good for addressing erosion control concerns and cover for small wildlife. Small white blooms cluster in early summer, followed by 2" sprays of brown seed husks that persist through the winter.
