    Product Features


    Season Beauty

    Spring flowers, summer seed pods, and colorful peeling bark add year-round interest. The name "Ninebark" comes from its exfoliating bark, which peels away in layers, revealing different colors underneath. This feature adds winter interest when the leaves have dropped.

    Native to North America

    Native to regions from the northeastern U.S. to the Great Plains and southeastern Canada. It thrives in areas with diverse climates, including USDA hardiness zones 2–8.

    Wildlife Friendly

     The flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.

     Seed pods and dense branches provide food and shelter for birds.

    Adaptability

    Because it evolved in North America, Common Ninebark is highly adaptable to various conditions, from poor soils to wet or dry environments, making it an excellent choice for naturalized or native plant gardens.

    This fast-growing shrub can reach maturity in just one single growing season, especially when started from a 1-gallon nursery pot.

    Like many shrubs, ninebark is best planted in the early spring while the bush is still dormant.

    Similar to hydrangeas, ninebark blooms on old wood, so make sure to prune only after flowering.

    Pruning can be done after flowering season or no later than mid-August, focusing on older, damaged branches.

    Common Ninebark

    The Flora of Virginia lists the habitat of ninebark as, “ Dry rocky open woodlands, barrens, cliffs, outcrops, rocky river shores and bars, riverside prairies, stream banks, fens, and seepage swamps.” This explains why Donald Leopold lists ninebark with the shrubs that are ranked ‘tough’ in his Native Plants of the Northeast. The Flora describes ninebark as “Frequent to common in the mountains; infrequent to locally common in the Piedmont; rare in the Coastal Plain.” That’s quite a range, and generally speaking, plants that are that widely adapted are among the most forgiving for growing in conservation landscaping at home.
