Purple Ninebark (like Diablo, pictured above) is a great shrub to add color to your landscape. A fast grower with deep burgundy leaves and white blooms in summer, ninebark can tolerate some shade but performs best in full sun. Use ninebark in mixed shrub borders or even as a foundation plant. A newer cultivar, Summer Wine Ninebark, is a more compact plant with Diablo^®’s deep wine leaves and white flowers. For the best effect, plant it to complement yellow or bright green plants.
