Long-Lasting, Vivid Color

Why Sweet Cherry Tea Ninebark Plants?
If you love unique, vibrant color and easy growth, the Sweet Cherry Tea is a must. For starters, it blooms twice each year…once in mid-May and again from July until the first frost. That means months of vibrant color for you.

The Sweet Cherry is perfect for planting near high-traffic areas, like patios, pools and beyond. But its dwarf silhouette is right at home anywhere in your landscape, whether it’s planted next to your porch or graces your garden.

Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better
Aside from its long blooming period and symphony of color and fragrance, our Sweet Cherry Tea is better because of its strong start. With our Sweet Cherry Tea, you get a healthier root system and more developed branching from day one. That’s because we’ve planted and meticulously grown our plants to adapt and acclimate well to your homescape.

Now, you reap the rewards of gorgeous growth, vivid color, and carefree upkeep. Our Sweet Cherry is effortlessly elegant and fits right into any space. Order your Sweet Cherry today!

Sweet cherry tea nine bark shrub

My plant has been grown since the day I unpacked it. I put it in a tall planter but I'm rethinking that. I definitely looks Hardy and the leaves look great! It's a nice purplish color so it will look great with the butterfly bush I got. The only thing is, I have to plant them in big pots because I live in an apartment! They look beautiful! I'll have to come back with a photo.

Well now, it arrived in

Well now, it arrived in very good condition but it's too early to tell if it's eventually going to look like the mature plants on your website. Keeping my fingers crossed. Watering it daily but the instructions say not to overwater, which I don't. It's in an area where it gets some morning sun, which I hope will be adequate. Strange name for a plant, though. Do the cherries it produces when squeezed make a kind of tea?

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi George! Thanks for your feedback. It sounds like you are off to a great start with your Sweet Cherry Tea Ninebark. This variety is unique because it blooms twice, first in late spring and again in mid-summer, which is why it has that “tea” in the name. It does not produce cherries, but it definitely brings beautiful color and charm to the garden. Keep us posted, and we are always here if you have questions.

It's a lot smaller than

It's a lot smaller than I anticipated but it's planted in the ground and seems to be acclimating well.
