SUMMER WINE NINEBARK Physocarpus opulifolius ‘Seward’
• A compact, richly coloured ninebark valued for its deep wine‑purple foliage, which holds its colour reliably through summer even in full prairie sun.
• Produces soft pink‑white flower clusters in late spring that contrast beautifully against the dark leaves, followed by red seed capsules; mature stems develop the species’ signature exfoliating bark, adding winter texture.
• Naturally forms a graceful, arching, multi‑stemmed shrub with a dense, rounded habit; ideal for foundation plantings, mixed borders, hedges, and high‑contrast colour compositions.
• Exceptionally hardy and adaptable, thriving in clay or loam soils, exposed sites, and urban conditions; shows strong drought tolerance once established and requires minimal pruning to maintain shape.
• Full Sun
• Zone 3, 1.5–1.8 m Height × 1.2–1.5 m Width
