How to Use Festivus Gold® Ninebark In The Landscape

The yellow foliage, chunky compact growth habit and thicker, heavier stems of these native plants create colorful focal points, specimens and backdrops!

Create low screening and hedges that light up the landscape, Festivus is sized fantastically for container gardening on your patio, porch or balcony!

Tidy borders and edging, Festivus Gold® are incredible mass plantings, creating glory where difficult-to-mow areas or that 'hell strip' along the road once stood.

#ProPlantTips For Care

Festivus will perform best in full sun with the best color and the cleanest foliage. If grown in part shade the foliage color may be more green than yellow. Average water and soil needs, any well-drained medium works!

Mulch the roots for insulation from cold zones 3-7, and retain moisture. Blooming on old wood, prune after flowering if light shaping is needed, but it is best to avoid any kind of regular pruning of Ninebark. Renewal pruning is suggested for older plants by removing the oldest, thickest stems out to the ground leaving the younger and thinner stems in place for the best natural form and flowering.
