The Story
Selected near Grey Rock Trail in the Cache la Poudre Canyon, Scott Skogerboe’s ‘Grey Rock’ Mountain Ninebark makes a landscape shrub offering durable, practical beauty on a plant sized for modern yards. Maturing at 3 to 4 feet tall and wide, this selection fits into foundation plantings and borders without the need for regular pruning, and provides low-fuss interest all year long thanks to a generous flush of soft-pink flowers in spring, handsome, lobed leaves in summer, stunning gold to orange-red color and seedheads in fall, and elegant, exfoliating bark in winter. Consider it a no-nonsense “fixer” for trouble spots that just seem too small for other shrubs.
In hotter portions of the region, like Denver or Salt Lake City, this plant is best with shade or dappled light through the hottest hours of the afternoon. Drought tolerant and easy-to-grow.
