Savannah Sunset Ninebark is a compact native deciduous shrub with an upright mounding habit. Its lobed foliage emerges bright orange and transitions through yellow to green before turning deep maroon and reds in fall. The clusters of small pink-white flowers bloom in late spring to early summer. Grows best with afternoon shade in the South and dry to medium well-drained acidic soil.
