Savannah Sunset™ Purple Ninebark

Savannah Sunset™ is a compact ninebark selected for foliage that changes from crinkled orange to yellow and green, then deep red and maroon by fall. White flower clusters appear in late spring and summer, adding pollinator interest as the shrub changes through the season. [Bloomin’ Easy](https://bloomineasyplants.com/plant/physocarpus-savannah-sunset/) lists it at 4–5 feet tall and 3–4 feet wide for USDA Zones 3–7. ## Garden Placement The compact upright form suits borders, mass planting, smaller gardens, and large containers. Full sun supports strong foliage color. Plant in moist, well-drained soil and leave enough room for the shrub’s mature spread. ## Water Water at least weekly, increasing frequency during hot weather, and avoid letting the soil dry completely. [Prides Corner Farms](https://www.pridescorner.com/plant-name/PHYSOCARPUS--SAVANNAH-SUNSET-) recommends steady moisture and spring feeding. ## Maintenance This selection is listed as low maintenance by [SiteOne](https://www.siteone.com/en/95846b-physocarpus-opulifolius-savannah-sunset-ninebark/p/1003715). Remove damaged stems as needed and keep routine pruning light so the seasonal foliage and spring flowers remain visible.
