This upright, graceful shrub is known for its fine-textured foliage and compact form, making it an excellent choice for year-round interest in the landscape. Hardy in Zones 6-9, it thrives in a range of temperatures, preferring climates that do not experience prolonged freezing. The delicate, lacy foliage emerges as a vibrant green, transitioning to soft red tones in the fall, providing beautiful seasonal interest. Small, delicate white flowers appear in late spring, followed by clusters of bright red berries that persist into winter, adding further ornamental appeal. It grows well in well-draining, moderately fertile soil and adapts to both full sun and partial shade. This deer-resistant plant reaches a mature height of 4-6 feet, with a naturally bushy and upright habit that works well in borders, foundation plantings, or as a specimen.
