A beacon in the winter landscape with its bright red stems, this selection is also easy to grow and tolerant of poor soils, wet areas and the coldest climates. Great for massing, this selection has good red-purple fall color, and should be trimmed yearly to remove old growth as new growth has the best winter color. Excellent hedge, screen or in mass plantings. Red stems add color to the winter landscape. Perfect for wet areas and reclamation landscapes.
