I am a medium-sized shrub with bright green fern-like foliage that turns red once the weather gets colder making me a garden highlight in winter.
I produce white flowers in summer, which are then followed by ornamental red berries that contrast against my green foliage.
I am ideal to be used as a border, low hedge, Asian-themed gardens or in a container.
I can tolerate light frost and short periods of dryness. Keep me moist in dry weather.
I grow best in a full sun to part shade position in moist well-drained soil.
Give me a prune in late winter or early spring by thinning out my old woody canes at ground level to encourage new growth.
