Teaser Hues of orange-red in spring and fall; burgundy in summer. Large white flowers give way to bright red seed-heads.

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.

Limited Availability

We try very hard to source exactly what you’d like, but sometimes growers run out of plants! While this variety is a great deal at the price shown, we know that it has limited availability. If you want the plant even if it might be more expensive, or in a different size or quantity -- after you place your order, just send us a quick note at help@northshoreplantclub.com. Then, we’ll try to get you some version of this from one of our growers. And if we can’t get it from anywhere, of course, we’ll send a refund!


Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants

Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.

Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

About Ordering From The Plant Club

To secure the best prices for club members and make sure we know the current plants available from each nursery, we take orders only a couple of times a month.

No Pricing or Availability Right Now

We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region. It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.

Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
