About this plant

This evergreen shrub features a dense, bushy, upright habit, making it an excellent ornamental choice for gardens. It thrives in USDA hardiness zones 5-8, preferring cool to moderate temperatures with partial shade. Its striking new foliage emerges in fiery red tones in spring before maturing to glossy green, creating a vibrant seasonal display. Clusters of small, urn-shaped white flowers appear in early spring, attracting pollinators. This shrub has no noticeable fall color change but offers year-round appeal. It prefers acidic, well-drained soils rich in organic matter and requires consistent moisture. The plant typically reaches a mature height of 4-8 feet with a similar spread, forming a compact, rounded shape. It exhibits good deer resistance, making it a reliable choice for landscapes in deer-prone areas. Ideal for foundation plantings, woodland gardens, or as a striking standalone specimen.
