watering
Water Ninebark (Physocarpus opulifolius 'Jefam' AMBER JUBILEE) deeply every 7-10 days or as needed. When soil is dry to the touch, water at the base of the plant and try to keep foliage dry to prevent fungal issues.
sunlight
Ninebark (Physocarpus opulifolius 'Jefam' AMBER JUBILEE) thrives best in full sun, and should receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. It does not tolerate shade very well, but can tolerate some partial shade in the afternoon. When planting, orient your ninebark so that it receives sun in the morning and afternoon. If possible, place it in an area that gets full sun from mid morning to mid afternoon. Avoiding afternoon sun and large amounts of shade can help your ninebark stay healthy and promote more blooms.
pruning
Ninebark (Physocarpus opulifolius 'Jefam' AMBER JUBILEE) should be pruned in late winter or early spring, only taking away no more than 1/3 of the foliage at a time. Pruning should focus on the larger, older stems, but any new growth should be left to fill in the plant. On an established, full grown Ninebark, all dead, diseased, or weak branches should be removed. Pruning should also be done to keep the shape of the shrub full and natural.
