Cultivars
SUMMER WINE Black
Physocarpus 'SMNPMS'
Foliage + flowers Deep purple-black foliage – the darkest of any ninebark – give Summer Wine® Black a dramatic presence in the landscape. With its semi-dwarf, compact habit, and disease resistant foliage, it offers outstanding potential for landscapers and homeowners alike.
Ginger Wine
Physocarpus 'SMNPOBLR'
Stand out from the crowd! Ginger Wine ® ninebark is imbued with truly exceptional color: rich hues of orange red in spring and fall, and sparkling burgundy in summer. Large white flowers in late spring give way to bright red seed-heads. Sturdy stems and a compact upright habit make this an excellent plant in the container and the landscape. In our trials, it has demonstrated excellent mildew resistance. Native to North America.
Pickleball
Physocarpus 'SMNPOE'
A mini ninebark with a big impact. Pickleball is the smallest ninebark on the market at just around 3’ tall and wide. Its small mounding habit is a perfect addition to the front of the border or in mass plantings. This native Physocarpus opulifolius has bright green foliage and darling white flowers that native bees and other pollinators will love just as much as you will. The vibrant foliage also makes a great foliage filler in cut flower arrangements. Not only is Pickleball ninebark adorable, it's also incredibly tough, showing good disease resistance, excellent drought tolerance, and good adaptability to soils. This ninebark is sure to make an impact at retail with its cute-as-a-button container presentation.
SUMMER WINE Rosé
Physocarpus 'SMNPOFT'
A bit of bold whimsy for the landscape or garden. Summer Wine® Rosé ninebark has all the great attributes of the original Summer Wine® ninebark, including colorful foliage, mildew resistance, and stability, but also has attractive pink flowers, buds, and seed capsules. The fresh pink spring blooms that cover the arching branches stand out against the deep purple foliage and bring in lots of native pollinators. This native Physocarpus opulifolius is extremely adaptable to soils and has great drought tolerance once established. Summer Wine Rosé ninebark flowers prolifically in a container and presents a neat and tidy habit that stuns at retail.
Tiny Wine
Physocarpus 'SMNPOTW'
Tiny Wine ® ninebark is smaller than others on the market, in terms of both its leaf size and overall habit. This upright cultivar has neat, deep purple foliage and clusters of pink flowers in late spring. It is a very heavy bloomer, which, coupled with its diminutive size, makes quite an impression in the landscape. Resistant to powdery mildew.
Summer Wine
Physocarpus 'Seward'
Mildew-resistant. Award-winning Summer Wine® ninebark combines the fine texture and compact branching of P. 'Nana' with the dark foliage of Diabolo®. In late spring, white button-like flowers accent the deep purple foliage nicely. In trials at Longwood Gardens, it was determined to have the best mildew resistance of all dark-leaf ninebarks. With its graceful, arching habit and landscape-friendly size, it's an easy way to add color and vibrance, especially in spring. Its color, vigor, and disease resistance makes it an excellent choice for cut flower growers looking for reliable foliage filler.
