When I purchased mine it was about 3 feet tall. 4 years later it is now 8 feet tall! I have mine in full sun. People always stop to ask me the name of the plant. It is most beautiful when in bloom. Amazing clusters of white flowers all over. It is also beautiful in early spring when the center of my ninebak has a yellowish greenish color in the center of the new leaves that are coming out against the exterior purple leaves. Truly a sight to see! Does well in Washington state where I am.<br />NickieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-77724275169501926902011-07-10T20:25:26.174-04:002011-07-10T20:25:26.174-04:00you are a busy girl...you are a busy girl...Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11745604261113221887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-73118182219459258862011-07-10T16:13:49.149-04:002011-07-10T16:13:49.149-04:00Cher,

Dianne,
Gr...Cher,<br />Thanks for letting me know that.<br /><br />Dianne,<br />Great idea on the nasturtium! I need to remember that for next year.<br /><br />Hi Donna,<br />Thank you for your comment. It seems that almost everyone is happy with their Ninebarks. I am feeling good about my purchase. I just went out today and bought two dwarf Golden Threadleaf False Cypress to plant in front of them. I think it will be a nice combination - something different than all the dark green I now have.Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-24504358141579250792011-07-10T15:52:56.522-04:002011-07-10T15:52:56.522-04:00Zoey,

It's five years old now and one the easiest shrubs I have. It does very well in the part shade against the garage where I have it planted~ with little to no care, and blooms with abandon in spring. I also read that you can cut it back if gets too out of bounds~ which I think I will be doing next spring after it flowers. It is at the roof line of the garage now. And, I have had no problems with powdery mildew. <br />I think you will be very happy with yours.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13350711653685643897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-28719659805406274742011-07-09T20:21:36.433-04:002011-07-09T20:21:36.433-04:00I planted zinnias this year, a smaller variety tha...I planted zinnias this year, a smaller variety than before, and multi colors.

The flowers on Summer Wine are lovely (very showy) and it is recommended that it be sheared a few times before August (so that it will set flower buds for next year) to develop a pleasing shape.<br /><br />I am not sure if these are the directions for Diablo but they should give them online.<br /><br />Don't you just love that dark color? I put them in place of Rhus Aromatica which was a continual pruning job.<br /><br />EileenGatsbys Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228978705943696143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-27558878543658008932011-07-09T18:56:44.909-04:002011-07-09T18:56:44.909-04:00Sissy, I am thrilled to learn that deer don't ...Sissy, I am thrilled to learn that deer don't eat them!

The only one I have that does is the Ninebark Coppertina and with the rains this year and where it's at, it might be this year only. If that one does it next year I may pull that one out, but my Diablo's and Center Glow are gorgeous. In fact I have photos of both of them on my blog in bloom. I LOVE them, really love them. The only one I saw in research for it was the one I mentioned. Didn't know it at the time as I had researched the other two. Now keep in mind to leave enough room around it as they get wide also, but I think it's one of the most stunning shrubs there are.
