Description:
Fireside Ninebark is a colorful, adaptable shrub that brings warm tones and texture to the landscape. Its foliage emerges in shades of coppery-orange to red, gradually deepening as the season progresses, creating a rich, layered look. In late spring, clusters of small white to soft pink flowers appear, adding contrast against the darker leaves. Its upright, slightly arching form makes it a great choice for borders, hedging, or as a standout accent plant.
Standout Feature:
Warm, fiery foliage tones that shift through the season for added visual interest.
Interesting Fact:
Like other ninebarks, Fireside develops attractive peeling bark as it matures, giving it subtle winter interest even after the leaves have fallen.
