Brilliant red bark adds color to the landscape throughout the year. Produces a nice contrast to winter white snow. An excellent shrub that can be used alone as a single or to create hedges. White flowers appear in spring, and lush green leaves are present spring through fall. Prefers moist soil and serves as a wildlife browse.
