Ninebark is a hardy flowering shrub that is known for its striking foliage. Lobed leaves have gently toothed edges. The foliage is yellowish-green at the start of the growing season but transitions into a dark red with hints of purple by the fall. The Physocarpus Center Glow features lovely pink flowers in June. While this shrub is deciduous, it continues to provide visual interest all year, thanks to the exfoliating red bark that offers up some color in a drab winter landscape.

An upright, dense growth makes this shrub a wonderful hedge, border, or foundation planting. Add a burst of color to a mass planting or create a focal point in a landscape. This plant is generally deer-resistant and native to North America, ensuring it is easy to maintain. This cultivar grows as a perennial in USDA zones 2 through 8.

Center Glow Ninebark Care

Ninebark shrubs need full sun to partial shade. Moist soil that is well-drained and fertile is necessary. New plants need water once or twice a week, but established plants are drought-tolerant. Feed Ninebark using a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring and add a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant for an extra boost.

This plant has an appealing size and shape, so pruning is not generally necessary. Remove crossed branches or damaged growth in the early spring. This plant also blooms on old wood, so prune as needed after the flowers fade. Give the plant a rejuvenating trim every few years to encourage more growth.

Center Glow Ninebark Spacing

Center Glow Ninebark is an upright plant with arching branches that will grow 4 to 6 feet tall and wide. Plant shrubs 3 to 5 feet apart to create a hedge or give the plants more room to create a focal point.

    Center Glow...

    Posted by Karyn Blue on Jun 29, 2023

    Wonderful!!! They were bigger than I expected which was awesome. We are in the midst of hot humid summer in zone 7b, I recommend putting these fellas in the shade in pots the first year in zone 7b. Next year they will acclimate to this climate, but even so I would avoid full sun here in 7b.

    The Center Glow Ninebark shrub arrived much larger than I expected. The packaging was phenomenal and maintained moist soil even in high temps in Texas. I Will order from Plant addicts again.

    great foliage

    Posted by C. Brando on Jul 05, 2022

    I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived and looked even better in person than online. It is well made, sturdy, and has a great color. I planted it in my yard and have seen that it's been able to survive high heat and strong winds, unlike other flowers I've had.
