Physocarpus opulifolius 'Ginger Wine' is a striking cultivar of ninebark that captivates with its vibrant, ginger-colored foliage. This deciduous shrub boasts deeply lobed, maple-like leaves that emerge in a stunning shade of coppery-orange, gradually transitioning to a rich, burgundy-red as the season progresses. The foliage is the true star of this plant, providing a bold, attention-grabbing presence in the landscape. The leaves maintain their vivid hues from spring through fall, creating a dramatic contrast with the small, white flower clusters that bloom in early summer. These delicate blooms are followed by decorative seed heads, further extending the visual interest. Reaching 4-6 feet in height and width, 'Ginger Wine' is a compact, well-branched ninebark that is well-suited for a variety of landscape applications. Its adaptability to full sun to partial shade and a wide range of soil types makes it a versatile choice for mixed borders, foundation plantings, and specimen planting. Additionally, the shrub's deer resistance and low-maintenance nature add to its appeal. Whether used as a bold focal point or as part of a cohesive planting scheme, this is a must-have for gardeners seeking a striking, long-lasting addition to their landscape.
