Striking deep burgundy foliage and blushed red new growth are guaranteed to stand out in any garden.

Its large, shiny leaves provide coarse visual texture, great for breaking up landscapes filled with the medium textures of plants like roses or the fine textures for shrubs like boxwood. The addition of subtle orange flowers is an unexpected delight in late spring. This native shrub is a unique and eye-catching addition to any garden!
