Maintenance Tips

• Drought-tolerant once established, but regular watering helps maintain vigor during dry spells.
• Prune in late winter or early spring to shape and remove any dead or overcrowded branches, which also encourages healthy new growth.
• Tolerates a range of soil types, from moist to dry, preferring well-drained conditions.
• Apply a layer of mulch to conserve soil moisture and suppress weeds.
• Monitor for pests and diseases, though ninebark is generally resilient and requires minimal care.
