Growing & Maintenance Tips for Physocarpus opulifolius 'Seward'

This cultivar is often offered as a prune or trained tree form. Ninebark grow best in a well-drained, fertile soil, however, they are very hardy and adaptable and will tolerate a wide range of soil types and conditions. Prune by thinning at the base to reduce mildew and full renewal by pruning down to ground in late winter.
