The Basics
This attractive upright evergreen’s foliage grows from a cane-like stem. Its foliage is reddish-purple during fall and winter, and red-tinted with dark-green foliage throughout the rest of the year. Its white flowers bloom in summer followed by red berry-like clusters through winter. This dense shrub grows 4-5 feet tall(3-4 feet wide). Its versatility and durability makes it ideal for a specimen plant, border, and planted in masses.
