Vigorous fast-growing evergreen shrub with an arching growth habit to 8-10′ tall x 6-8′ wide. This popular variety is revered for its overall hardiness as well as for its profusion of dainty white flowers that appear in spring followed by magnificent clusters of showy orange-red berries in the fall. An abundant display of showy flowers attract bees and the brightly-colored berries persist through winter and are a favorite food for birds. Great for trellising against walls or fences and is ideally suited as a moderately large screen or barrier. Tolerates coastal conditions and has relatively low water needs once established. Full sun.
