Comments:
This shrub provides interesting features throughout the year -- beautiful burgundy-red stems in winter, white flowers among the foliage in spring, green and white variegated foliage during the summer, handsome rosy-red, apricot, or gold foliage color in the fall, and white berries with a hint of blue in late fall and winter. Remove one third of the oldest canes each year to encourage new growth and continuing vigor of the plant.
