Ninebark is a native plant used as an ornamental. It is also used as a wetland plant, as it is drought tolerant. It is named for its bark that peels away in flakes and appears to have
many layers. The leaves are dense with clusters of small white flowers at the branch tips. The fruit is like no other, an inflated glossy red pod that turns to brown and splits to release its seeds. Ninebark, also called Pacific Ninebark, is most likely found in areas that are moist and shady. A shrub and a member of the Rosaceae Family, it grows between Kiosks 05 and 06.
