Physocarpus (Ninebark)
Color Name: Tiny Wine®
Tiny Wine Physocarpus is a very heavy bloomer, which, coupled with its small size, makes quite an impression in the landscape. Tiny Wine is extra bushy, with small, refined leaves. The dark bronze-maroon foliage is colorful all season, and contrasts beautifully with the white flowers in late spring. The flower show is exceptional, with dainty flowers blooming up and down the stem in a very showy display. This plant will provide a lot of low-maintenance color in a very small space.
Growing Tips: Though physocarpus can grow in part shade, flowering, foliage color, and disease resistance is best with a minimum of six hours of sun. Physocarpus is amenable to pruning and recovers from it quickly; however, frequent cutting back may cause the plant to develop an odd habit.
Soil: Extremely adaptable to soil pH and moisture levels.
Pruning: To best enjoy its naturally graceful habit, avoid habitual cutting back. If required, prune after flowering or thin out oldest stems in late winter/early spring. May benefit from periodic rejuvenation pruning.
Uses: Foundation plantings; mixed borders; specimen; hedging; landscaping.
