My gingerwine ninebarks are stunning. I have them planted on the east side of my house and they are very happy there. Our soil is alkaline. Our irrigation (non drinkable) water has high salinity. I keep that water from hitting the leaves of the ninebarks and water them by drip at ground level. Every so often, I give them non-irrigation water. They are beautiful and thriving. They put on a show year round. People frequently ask what they are because they are so beautiful.
