You are purchasing a Crimson/Diabolo Ninebark Shrub, which arrives in a 3" pot with a height of 6-12 inches. This adaptable shrub is not only ideal for forming small trees but also thrives under various conditions. While it prefers full sun for optimal flowering, it can also grow well in partial shade. It excels in well-drained soil but can handle wet conditions and even tolerate some drought. The Ninebark boasts striking purplish foliage, adorned with clusters of white or pinkish-white flowers, making it a vibrant addition to any garden. As the seasons change, the bronze tones in the purple foliage become even more pronounced, enhancing its fall appeal. Additionally, the mature branches reveal exfoliating bark, adding winter interest to your landscape. Whether used as a standalone specimen or as part of a beautiful hedge, this shrub reaches a mature height and width of 4-7 feet. Hardy in zones 3-7, it’s a resilient choice for a variety of climates. For California orders, plants are shipped bare root from November to March due to state soil restrictions. Planting instructions are included with every order to ensure successful growth.
