A medium sized shrub that is well adapted to colder climates. Great when used as a hedge that can easily be shaped or left untouched as an ornamental on its own or grouped together with a few others in larger yards. Dark green foliage in spring and summer turns a stunning reddish orange in the fall. Butterflies, bees and other pollinators like this shrub, and will also draw birds for the small black berries. Fortunately, it is considered deer resistant.
