#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!
