Is Now a Good Time to Plant?

Yes! Fall is one of the best times to plant!

Landscaping experts often recommend planting in fall instead of waiting until spring. Here’s why:

  • Cooler weather puts less stress on newly planted trees and shrubs.
  • Fall soil is still warm, which helps roots grow and get established.
  • Cooler temperatures mean less water is lost through the leaves, making it easier for plants to stay hydrated.
  • Even after top growth slows for winter, roots continue developing below ground.
  • Fall weather often brings more rain and less heat, making new plants easier to care for.
  • By spring, your plants already have a head start. Their established roots can support strong new leaves, branches, and flowers.
  • Trees planted in spring must establish their roots while also dealing with rising temperatures and summer heat.

Plant this fall, and your trees can spend the cooler months getting settled instead of waiting until spring to get started!

Planting your Ginger Wine® Ninebark

Planting Instructions for Ginger Wine® Ninebark

  1. Choosing the Right Location: Plant Ginger Wine Ninebark in full to partial sun in USDA zones 3 through 7, aiming for at least six hours of direct sunlight. Full sun gives the richest orange and burgundy foliage, while more shade turns the leaves greener. It performs best in northern and central climates where cool nights bring out its strongest color.
  2. Soil Preparation: Ginger Wine grows in many soil types as long as the area drains well. Loosen the soil in a wide area and mix in compost to help new roots establish.
  3. Planting: Dig a hole about twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep, and set the shrub so the top of the root ball is level with the ground. It matures at about 5 to 6 feet tall and wide. For an informal hedge or privacy planting, space plants 4 to 5 feet apart; for specimens, allow the full width.
  4. Mulching and First Watering: Water deeply after planting and spread 2 to 3 inches of mulch over the root zone, keeping it off the stems.

Care Instructions

  1. Watering: Water regularly while the shrub becomes established. After the roots settle in, it is a tough shrub that handles normal garden conditions with less attention, though a deep soak in long dry spells keeps foliage fresh.
  2. Fertilizing: Feed lightly in early spring with a balanced slow-release shrub fertilizer. Too much nitrogen can reduce foliage color. Water before and after feeding and follow the label rate, since too much fertilizer can burn roots and cause weak, floppy growth.
  3. Pest and Disease Monitoring: Ginger Wine is known for durable, disease-resistant growth. Still, watch for powdery mildew in crowded, humid spots and thin a few inner stems to improve air flow if it appears.

Maintenance and Long-Term Care

  1. Pruning: Ginger Wine usually needs little pruning and does not require deadheading. To shape it or refresh growth, remove a few older branches at the base right after flowering. Light pruning keeps it neat and encourages colorful new growth.
  2. Winter Care: This very cold hardy shrub handles harsh northern winters without protection. Water well in fall if the season has been dry.

Additional Tips for Growing Ginger Wine® Ninebark

  1. Changing Color: Leaves open bright orange and copper in spring, then deepen to rich burgundy and wine-red as they mature, giving months of color.
  2. Flowers and Seed Heads: Clusters of small white flowers appear in late spring and can attract pollinators, followed by decorative red seed heads. Ginger Wine does not need deadheading, so you can enjoy the seed heads as they extend the seasonal display.
  3. Native Choice: A selection of a North American native shrub, it fits natural and wildlife-friendly landscapes. Due to state plant regulations, it cannot ship to Arizona, Oregon or California.

Ginger Wine® Ninebark

Beware- not all Ginger Wine® Ninebarks are the same.

Be sure to get superior flowering shrubs, grown by experts.

Better Roots Make Stronger Plants: Some nurseries send you "bare root" flowering shrubs to save on shipping. Even worse, others have started digging them right out of the ground before shipping. This causes major transplant shock and long-term damage. We send you Ginger Wine® Ninebarks in soil-filled containers- ensuring a well-developed root system that will explode with growth and blooms!

Healthy Plants: We've seen other nurseries grow tall flowering shrubs in tiny pots to save on shipping. This leads to a "root bound" shrub, where the roots have outgrown their pot- they cannot absorb water and nutrients. They quickly dry out during shipment, leading to an unhealthy shrub.

Ginger Wine® Ninebark

Ginger Wine® Ninebark gives you months of changing color- bright orange new growth that deepens to rich burgundy, plus white spring flowers.

  • Color that changes: orange and copper new leaves mature to deep burgundy
  • White flower clusters in late spring, followed by decorative red seed heads
  • Great for hedges: grows 5-6 ft. tall and wide- plant 4-5 ft. apart for a colorful screen
  • Tough North American native: very cold hardy in zones 3-7 and needs little pruning

Not all plants are created equal

The Difference Is in the Roots

Every plant we ship has grown in a nursery container with its roots protected, so it arrives healthy, established and ready to thrive in your yard.

A full, branched Nationwide Plants tree in a nursery pot next to a thin bare-root tree with exposed roots Ours: container grown Theirs: bare root
Nationwide Plants Other Nurseries
How it's grown Grown in a nursery container, roots protected the whole time Pulled or dug from the field, tearing fragile roots
How it arrives Arrives in its pot with soil intact Arrives bare root, exposed and drying out
Before shipping Growing naturally until it ships Held dormant in a cooler, then shocked by a hot shipping box
Root health Strong, well-developed roots with room to grow Crammed into a small pot until it's root bound
Height Measured from the top of the soil Often includes the pot and roots
After planting Settles in quickly with less transplant shock Arrives stressed and can take years to recover, if it does

The height you see is the height you plant.

We measure every plant from the top of the soil, not the bottom of the pot. Many nurseries include the pot and roots, so a "5–6 ft." tree from them might stand only 4 ft. tall once it's planted.

Comparisons reflect common practices across the online plant industry, not any single company.

Honest Measurements: Some nurseries measure plants including the pot and roots, so the plant you receive is much smaller than you expected. We measure all of our plants from the soil line, so the height you see is what you can expect after planting.

From our nursery to your door

How We Ship Your Plants

Every order is hand-selected, watered and carefully packed so it arrives healthy and ready to plant. Here's what happens after you place your order.

  1. Hand-Picked for You

    Our team selects the best plant available for your order. For privacy trees, that's the tallest and fullest. For fruit trees, it's the best branched.

    Why it matters: Many online nurseries ship whatever is next in the row.

  2. A Deep Drink Before the Trip

    Every plant gets a thorough watering right before it's packed, so it starts the journey fully hydrated.

  3. Roots Sealed In

    We wrap the pot and roots in plastic to lock in moisture, so your plant has water to drink all the way to your door.

    Why it matters: Bare-root plants are often shipped with their roots exposed and drying out.

  4. Braced for the Ride

    Cardboard inserts are secured inside every box to hold your plant in place, so it won't slide, tip or get damaged in transit.

  5. Shipped Only by FedEx

    We ship your trees exclusively with FedEx. We've found they deliver the fastest and handle live plants the most gently.

And if anything goes wrong, every plant is backed by our 1 Year Warranty.

Healthy Roots Make a Huge Difference

  • Never buy bare-root plants. These trees are starved of nutrients, and have a low survival rate.
  • Beware of nurseries cut corners by growing in small pots. These "rootbound" plants are weak, struggle to absorb nutrients, and die quickly after planting.
  • Some nurseries try to sell oversized plants, but chop off vital roots so they can cram the rootball into a narrow box to save on shipping!

You Want Ginger Wine® Ninebarks Grown by Experts

Some nurseries ship small, weak shrubs grown in tiny pots to save money. These "root bound" plants struggle after planting and take longer to fill out and bloom well.

Nationwide Plants only sends you strong Ginger Wine® Ninebarks, selected and cared for by our plant experts, with healthy, developed root systems. That means they settle in quickly and start showing off their orange and burgundy color sooner.
