Description
Physocarpus opulifolius ‘SMNPOTW’, commonly known as Tiny Wine® Ninebark, is a compact deciduous shrub prized for its striking deep burgundy foliage that retains vibrant color throughout the growing season. Originating from the native North American species Physocarpus opulifolius, this cultivar was developed for its dwarf habit, reaching only 3 to 4 feet in height and width, making it ideal for smaller landscapes and container gardening. Tiny Wine® Ninebark features clusters of delicate white to pinkish flowers in late spring, which attract pollinators and add seasonal interest. Its exfoliating reddish-brown bark provides winter appeal, a signature trait of Ninebarks. This hardy shrub thrives in a wide range of soils and displays excellent resistance to common pests and diseases, including powdery mildew, enhancing its reliability in varied garden settings. Recognized for its ornamental value and versatility, Tiny Wine® Ninebark has been celebrated for combining vivid foliage color with a manageable size, offering landscapers and gardeners a dynamic yet low-maintenance option for borders, hedges, and foundation plantings.
