Another of our new introductions in 2024. Sweet Cherry Tea is the first reblooming ninebark on the market. Delicate pink flowers make their traditional entrance in spring, then return midsummer. The flowers give way to rose-red ornamental fruits in late spring. So much to love about this particular variety: smaller overall size, deep purple foliage, and low maintenance. Plant in foundations, mixed borders, naturalized gardens, and urban landscapes.

Throughout this site, the following are used as guidelines for watering established plants:
These truly xeric plants can live with our 12 inches of natural annual precipitation and only need a winter watering during a multi-year drought, but they will thrive with a monthly watering. Overwatering will kill some of these. These plants are adapted to intermittent deep
watering with soil drying to a depth of a few inches between waterings. Watering frequency may be every couple of weeks during the active growing season and maybe only one winter watering for optimal care. These plants need regular watering somewhat like a bluegrass lawn so that
they never dry to depth in the root system during the active growing season, and need occasional winter watering to prevent root dessication and resultant plant
death. About sizes of our plants:
Sizes indicated with a # are roughly the equivalent in gallonage; so a #2 is about a 2 gallon pot size; b&b stands for balled and burlapped.
