Protected Series: TINY WINE
Zone: 3PICKLEBALL™ NINEBARK
Pickleball™ Ninebark (Pickleball™ Physocarpus opulifolius 'SMNPOE' USPPAF, Can PBRA) is a Proven Winners® selection and prized for its exceptionally compact and rounded growth habit. Reaching a mature size of only 2 to 4 feet in height and spread, Pickleball™ offers a tidy, structural presence that avoids the leggy appearance common in older varieties. It features dense, vibrant green foliage that remains lush throughout the growing season, serving as a crisp backdrop for the clusters of white, nectar-rich flowers that appear in late spring. As it matures, it develops the characteristic peeling, exfoliating bark that gives the species its name, providing a subtle architectural element to the garden during the winter months.
Physocarpus Pickleball™ is low-maintenance and adapts easily to a variety of environmental conditions, thriving in full sun to part shade and showing significant resistance to powdery mildew. It is quite versatile regarding soil types and becomes drought-tolerant once established. Pickleball™ is ideal for tight spaces such as foundation plantings under low windows or as a uniform low hedge along walkways. Its hardy nature and refined shape make it a perfect solution for modern urban landscapes where horizontal space is at a premium but visual impact is still required.
