Ninebark is a beautiful shrub that gets to be about 6 to 8 feet tall and just as wide. It prefers being protected from the afternoon sun. It can tolerate a wide range of soil conditions but doesn't like long periods of drought. Its clusters of smaller pinkish white flowers emerge May through July, attracting a variety of pollinators. The berries that form in late summer feed many birds and mammals.
