Description
Ninebark Tiny Wine Gold is a stunning, compact shrub that delivers a bold splash of color with its vibrant golden foliage. Emerging in spring with a fresh, chartreuse hue, its finely textured leaves deepen to a rich golden-green through summer, adding dynamic interest to the landscape. Clusters of soft pinkish-white flowers appear in late spring, creating a beautiful contrast against the foliage. As the seasons shift, its dense, mounded form provides structure and texture, while its peeling bark adds a layer of winter interest. This low-maintenance shrub is perfect for borders, foundation plantings, or mass plantings where its color and form create an eye-catching statement.
