Summer Wine® Rosé Ninebark brings a deliciously unexpected twist to the ninebark family. Its rich purple foliage forms a dramatic backdrop for clouds of soft pink spring flowers—an eye-catching contrast that instantly elevates borders, beds, and mixed garden designs. The arching branches create a graceful, fountain-like silhouette that feels both structured and wild at the same time.
This improved selection carries all the beloved traits of the original Summer Wine® Ninebark—vigorous growth, excellent mildew resistance, reliable hardiness—but adds delicate rose-pink buds, blooms, and rosy seed capsules for extra color through the seasons. Pollinators adore its spring blossoms, and gardeners appreciate how effortlessly it transitions from floral beauty to striking foliage plant as the season progresses.
Highly adaptable and unfussy, Summer Wine® Rosé Ninebark thrives in a variety of soils and becomes remarkably drought-tolerant once established. Its tidy habit and bold coloration make it a standout in foundation plantings, modern landscapes, and cottage-style gardens alike. Whether used as a specimen or massed for impact, this ninebark delivers drama without the work.
