This deciduous shrub boasts a mounded, upright habit and offers a striking display with its coppery-orange foliage in spring that matures to rich red tones, adding vibrant fall color to landscapes. Hardy in USDA Zones 3-8, it performs best in full sun to partial shade and thrives in a wide range of soil types, provided they are well-drained. The small, white to pale pink flowers bloom in late spring, forming attractive clusters that contrast beautifully against the foliage, followed by ornamental red seed capsules. Standing 6-8 feet tall and wide at maturity, this shrub features excellent deer resistance and serves as an eye-catching focal point or hedge. Ideal for low-maintenance gardens, it is adaptable to various planting conditions while offering erosion control and stunning seasonal interest.
