Ginger Wine Ninebark

Ginger Wine Ninebark is a colorful deciduous shrub with orange spring foliage that deepens to burgundy, plus clusters of white flowers and red seed heads. Its upright, arching habit makes it a standout for sunny borders, screens, foundation plantings, and focal points.

Why choose Ginger Wine Ninebark?

Choose Ginger Wine Ninebark for multi-season color with very little fuss. New growth emerges in warm orange tones, matures to rich burgundy, and pairs beautifully with late spring white blooms. After flowering, red seed heads add another ornamental layer, while mature stems develop the exfoliating bark that gives ninebark its name. Its medium size and upright shape make it useful as a backdrop, specimen, hedge, or mass planting in sunny landscapes.

Key Characteristics

Botanical Name: Physocarpus opulifolius ‘SMNPOBLR’
Common Name: Ginger Wine Ninebark
Plant Type: Deciduous shrub
Growth Habit: Upright, arching, multi-stemmed shrub

Ginger Wine Ninebark Additional Information

Ginger Wine Ninebark brings strong foliage interest from spring through fall. The leaves open in sunny orange to coppery tones, then mature into deep purple-red to burgundy color through the growing season. In late spring to early summer, rounded clusters of small white to pale pink flowers appear along the branches, adding contrast against the dark foliage. These flowers may develop into attractive red seed heads that extend the plant’s ornamental value into summer.

This ninebark is deciduous, dropping its leaves in fall and revealing mature stems with peeling, layered bark that adds winter texture. Its naturally arching form is best allowed to develop with minimal pruning, especially because flowers form on old wood. Use it in shrub borders, sunny foundation beds, mixed hedges, mass plantings, screening combinations, or as a colorful focal point where its foliage can stand out.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant Ginger Wine Ninebark in full sun for the strongest foliage color and best overall performance. Choose a location with well-drained soil and enough room for its mature size, typically around 5–6 feet tall and wide.

2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to help roots establish. Once established, Ginger Wine Ninebark handles average garden moisture well and performs best when watered during extended dry periods.

3. Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the root zone to conserve soil moisture, moderate soil temperature, and reduce weed competition. Keep mulch slightly away from the main stems.

4. Pruning: Prune only as needed after flowering to shape the plant or remove older stems. Avoid heavy spring pruning if blooms are desired, since ninebark flowers on old wood.
