Moderate-growing evergreen shrub to 4’ tall x 3’ wide. This compact-growing variety features bamboo-like canes cloaked in soft lacy foliage that emerges with a pink tinge maturing to a medium green during the growing season to eventually turn a bright bronzy-red in the cool temperatures of fall and winter. Small white and yellow flowers appear late-spring to summer and are followed by clusters of showy red berries late-summer into winter. Well-suited as an accent border natural hedge mass planting or container specimen. Tolerant of a variety of soil types provided they are well-drained. Partial to full sun.
