Deciduous shrub

  • Gorgeous mahogany red young stems and brilliant wine red young foliage that darkens as it matures to mahogany red making for a very effective contrast.
  • From June the heads of white flowers appear almost as a bonus, tinged with just the slightest hint of pink, they develop into red berries that stay on the plant into autumn.
  • This shrub will grow to 150 cm x 150 cm in size.
