A real beauty for the whole season with its everchanging foliage colors, and the flowers and berries are a bonus.

  • New leaves emerge copper and mature to blue-green
  • Bright red fruit in fall and red foliage in winter
  • White flowers in late spring to summer

Ideal plant for large groupings, shrub borders, house foundation plantings and as an accent plant. Will grow best in eastern, central, and southern Kansas as cold hardiness is an issue.
