The name “ninebark” derives from the peeling mature bark, which makes it look like there are multiple layers of bark on the plant. It is a very appealing winter effect. Ninebark is a rugged native plant that is very useful for cold, exposed landscapes. Tiny Wine® Gold has brilliant yellow new growth, small, refined foliage and clusters of white-pink flowers in spring. A little smaller than your average ninebark, it fits well into landscapes and adds durable season-long color to gardens. Physocarpus will tolerate clay soils, and extablished plants will also tolerate some drought.
