DARKSTAR NINEBARK 2gal

A striking plant with deeply lobed, almost black-purple foliage that holds its dark color steadfastly throughout the entire growing season. This upright, yet gracefully arching shrub typically reaches a mature size of 5 feet tall and 4 wide, creating an excellent focal point or a bold element in your shrub border.

When it comes to sunlight, the Darkstar Ninebark thrives in full sun, where its rich, dark hues will be most intense and vibrant. While it can tolerate some partial shade, you will notice the deepest color in a sunny location. And for those of you concerned about deer browsing, ninebarks are generally not a preferred food source for them.

To give your Darkstar Ninebark the best possible start and to maintain its vigor, I highly recommend planting it with Watters Premium Mulch. This will help conserve precious soil moisture, suppress weeds that compete for nutrients, and enrich the soil as it decomposes. In early spring, feed it with Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food to encourage strong, healthy growth and those stunning dark leaves.

The Darkstar Ninebark is a fantastic, relatively low-maintenance shrub that brings exceptional color and texture to the landscape. Plant one in your garden, and prepare to be amazed by its enduring beauty! Happy planting!
