Physocarpus opulifolius 'Savannah Sunset™' is a tough, adaptable ninebark shrub that brings multi-season interest to your landscape with textured branching, exfoliating bark, and spring flower clusters.

You can expect a mature size around 48-60 inches tall, with a spread around 36-48 inches. Use it as a specimen, in a mixed shrub border, or in naturalized plantings where you want dependable structure and easy care.

Site it in full sun to part shade. More sun typically supports denser growth and stronger flowering, while a bit of afternoon shade can be helpful in hot-summer locations. This plant tolerates a wide range of soils and handles periods of dryness once established, making it a good option for low-fuss landscapes and challenging sites.

After flowering, prune as needed to shape. For older, woody plants, you can renew the shrub by removing a portion of the oldest stems at the base to encourage fresh, vigorous growth. Water new plantings regularly during their first season so roots can establish, then reduce supplemental watering as the plant settles in.

Pair it with other sun to part-shade perennials and shrubs for layered texture, and let the peeling bark show in winter for added interest when leaves are down.
