The plant seems dead. It doesn't have any leaves and the stems are woody. I left it like that for a long time, hoping something would come back, but till now nothing

Please reach back out to me with updated photos to our helpdesk@provenwinnersdirect.com and we would be happy to assist!

They arrived on time but were already a little dry and are very small. I got them in the ground and seem to be doing okay, but I was a little disappointed in them. I have ordered a lot of flowers this summer and was a little disappointed with a couple but they are alive and I think will be okay.

This 2" ht. nine bark is so tiny and delicate. Not sure it will survive. Too small. Not satisfied.

Good packaging and shipping. Bushes seem quite healthy. I think they will do well. My only area of dissatisfaction is how small they are for the price. They are not bareroot twigs, but certainly not the size of garden center shrubs.

I live in zone 5b near Denver. I planted this last May in heavy, wet clay soil (runoff from lawn) that has killed other plants. It didn’t do much its first summer, but this year it has tripled in size and is the most stunning burgundy color, especially when the light filters through the leaves. I’m ready to find spots for two more :)

Did well the first week or so, now the leaves are all curled and dying. It seems they are still alive by the stem. Hoping I can bring them back

OMG it is the first time growing the ninebark. So so pretty. A very small plant from PW quickly tripled its size. It looks healthy other than few nibs on the leaves from some invisible insect. Very happy with the purchase.
