Summer Wine Ninebark 1 Live Plant – Quart Pot – Physocarpus opulifolius 'Seward'

Summer Wine® Ninebark (Physocarpus opulifolius 'Seward') is a deciduous ornamental flowering shrub valued for its rich burgundy-purple foliage, graceful arching branches, and clusters of delicate pinkish-white flowers. Its deeply colored, lobed leaves provide striking contrast in mixed shrub borders, foundation plantings, ornamental hedges, and perennial landscapes.

This cultivar combines the naturally attractive foliage and exfoliating bark of ninebark with a compact, mounding growth habit. During late spring to early summer, rounded clusters of small flowers appear against the dark foliage, creating an elegant seasonal display. The shrub's peeling bark and branching structure provide additional visual interest after its leaves fall.

Summer Wine Ninebark is a cultivated selection of Physocarpus opulifolius, a species native to eastern North America. It generally performs best in full sun to partial shade and adapts to a range of well-drained soils. Adequate sunlight helps maintain its distinctive burgundy-purple foliage coloration.
