Nearly black, fine textured foliage covers the Summer Wine Black Ninebark all season long. The soft pink buds open to white flowers. If possible, avoid pruning as it takes away its natural, arching shape. If it is needed, the best time to prune is shortly after flowering has occurred. Spacing ninebarks appropriately will help reduce leaf issues, including powdery mildew. This ninebark is a nativar.
