The improved cultivar, Ginger Wine, takes the already pretty color palette of the native Ninebark family and expands on it. New spring foliage emerges a sunny orange color to shout "welcome back!" to warm, sunny days spent outside with family and friends.
The exciting first flush of leaves matures to a sparkling burgundy that holds deep and true all season long. Ginger Wine easily pumps up the visual impact of your landscape.
As cooler nights approaches, the leaves deepen to purple-red for fall color. Even after leaf drop, you'll enjoy the attractive, peeling Ninebark in a showy winter display.
This field-tested deciduous shrub from Proven Winners® is also a great plant for wildlife. In late spring, you'll be enamored by the beautiful clusters of pink-tinted white flowers held profusely on the tips of the branches.
Local butterflies flock to these flat-topped blooms. You'll never need to worry about deadheading them...although they do make exquisite additions to cut flower arrangements.
The blooms age to attractive red seed heads. Watch for them, as they'll be taken quickly by songbirds in your area.
The naturally graceful, arching branches stay compact without pruning. It maintains its lovely form year after year without any work needed by you!
Savvy professional garden designers use carefree shrubs like Ginger Wine Ninebark to present a grand display all year-long. Order yours today!
How to Use Ginger Wine Ninebark in the Landscape
You'll find many places to feature these stunning shrubs. Decorate the length of your driveway, and use a pair flanking either side of your garden gate!
They'll make your visitors do a double take with their vivid coloration. Use this to your advantage to call attention to the entrance to a garden path.
Plant several of them as a showy backdrop to perennial gardens. Use them in modern mixed shrub borders to deliver a steady source of color and charm.
It is pretty enough to take center stage in your foundation planting. Add one or several in a cluster at the corner of your home.
As a pretty bonus, this "right-sized" Ninebark keeps its saturated foliage all the way to the ground. Leverage it for privacy screening behind your patio seating.
Use a long hedge of Ginger Wine Ninebark to define your garden design. Plant four feet apart on center to create a solid screen. Measure from the center of one to the center of the next.
They can even jazz up the look of mature evergreen trees. Plant several on the sunny side in a new mulched bed. Add bold color, butterflies and birds to your existing plantings.
If you don't have a yard, they can be grown in an outdoor container for years. Use them to spice up the look of your balcony, porch or deck. Position them to hide any awkward views!
#ProPlantTips for Care
Plant or place them in full sun locations for best results. You'll get the richest color with at least six hours of direct sunlight.
Likewise, they do best in well-drained soils. Ensure water drains away quickly after rain, or elevate them in a raised bed.
During the first season, carefully water Ginger Wine Ninebark as the roots get established. After that, these rugged plants can handle a little dryness. However, we do recommend that you give supplemental water during drought to protect your investment.
Ninebark has such a pretty, arching form. Plan for the mature height and width, and you likely won't have to prune them at all. If you want to shape them, do it directly after flowering is finished.
Ginger Wine develops next year's bloom on this year's wood. Don't wait to prune or you'll miss out on next year's blooms.
Keep your shrub vibrant with renewal pruning every few years. Remove the thickest, oldest stems at ground level and leave the thinner, younger stems in place.
Let Ginger Wine make it look like you spend hours tending the garden...without actually spending hours doing it. Order yours today!

The first delivery was a stressed plant but it was quickly replaced and the new plant is very healthy. I am a very happy customer.
Glad the replacement arrived in good shape and that Tiny Wine is off to a healthy start for you, Catherine. Ninebark is a tough, fast-growing shrub once it settles in, so you should see it take off quickly. Thanks for sticking with us through the hiccup.
Adjusting nicely.
Ninebark are tough adapters once they settle in, and it sounds like yours is doing just that. Tiny Wine puts on a great show once established, with the burgundy foliage really deepening as the season goes on. Thanks for the update, Theresa. The Nature Hills Team
It’s seems great but dries out quickly in this heat. Giving it plenty of water.
Ninebark are tough once established, but that first summer in the heat is the real test, and it sounds like you are doing exactly the right thing keeping up with the water. Once the roots settle in, Tiny Wine holds up well even in warmer conditions. Thanks for the update, Chris.
It died! I watered it as directed, and it shriveled up and died.
Absolutely beautiful!
Tiny Wine Ninebark has a way of stopping people in their tracks, so it is great to hear it is living up to that in your garden. Thanks for sharing, Emily. Enjoy watching it fill in!
Arrived well packed and healthy plant.Look forward to seeing it grow. I will order in the future for sure
A well-packed, healthy arrival is exactly the start Tiny Wine Ninebark needs to hit the ground running. That deep burgundy foliage really earns its place in the garden once it gets established. Thanks for the kind words, Marcia, and we look forward to growing with you again. The Nature Hills Team

My plants were healthy but they were getting smaller instead of bigger! The deer absolutely love them and the deer spray isn’t all that effective. They will have to go in my fenced backyard.
Hi Joan,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with your plants! We’re glad to hear they arrived healthy, though we’re sorry to learn that hungry deer have been enjoying them a bit too much and affecting their growth. Deer love nibbling on certain plants, and even the best sprays can sometimes be less effective than we hope.
Placing your plants in a fenced backyard sounds like a solid plan to protect them. Additionally, you might consider using motion-activated sprinklers or adding natural deer repellents such as garlic or hot pepper sprays around your plants to further discourage browsing. Many gardeners find combining physical barriers with these tactics helps keep deer at bay.
If you’d like, we’re happy to recommend more deer-resistant varieties or share tips tailored to your specific plants and region—just let us know!
Wishing you happy planting,
The Nature Hills Plant Experts
Shrub is still on the smaller side, but it looks like it will be a nice compact plant. I'll have to wait until next year to see it bloom. I'm pleased with it.
Dear Diane,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with your new shrub! We're delighted to hear that you’re pleased with its compact size so far. Indeed, many shrubs take a bit of time to settle in before they burst into bloom, so your excitement for next year’s flowers is well-founded. To help ensure vibrant blooms, be sure to check your plant’s specific sun and soil requirements, and feel free to water consistently during establishment periods. If you ever have questions about ongoing care or need tips on boosting bloom potential, we’re always here to assist.
