Ninebark

Ninebark is a tough, adaptable shrub known for its peeling bark, colorful foliage, and summer flower clusters. Modern cultivars offer foliage in shades of deep burgundy, copper, and golden chartreuse, providing strong color contrast throughout the growing season. In early summer, clusters of white to pink flowers add additional ornamental value. Its upright to arching habit makes it suitable for specimen use, mass plantings, or informal hedges. The exfoliating bark adds winter interest, especially in mature plants.
