Selected for its stunning foliage, First Editions® Fireside® Ninebark displays reddish new growth that matures to deep red-purple. Its foliage holds its color reliably all summer, including in warmer climates. Add to that, Fireside™ doesn’t show signs of powdery mildew in the landscape and you've got a real winner. Pinkish-white flowers bloom in spring, and foliage turns deep purple in fall. The plant habit is tidier than many other ninebark with a rounded, upright shape.
