Quantity

A compact deciduous shrub that brings year round interest to smaller gardens, with bright red stems intensifying in colour during winter months to create striking seasonal displays. The smaller stature distinguishes it from other types, forming neat mounds of green leaves that turn attractive shades of red and purple in autumn before revealing the colourful bare stems. Tiny white flowers appear in flat clusters during late spring, followed by white berries that attract birds while adding ornamental value. Particularly suited to smaller borders or container growing where space is limited, it thrives in moist soils and tolerates both full sun and partial shade. The dense growth habit makes it excellent for low informal hedging or mass planting, where groups can create dramatic winter effects. A versatile performer that combines ornamental appeal with wildlife benefits while requiring minimal maintenance.
