Evergreen shrub has a compact, dense growth habit. Green lacy leaves turn reddish-purple in sunny or cold weather. Small white flowers appear in spring or summer, followed by sprays of red berries. Use as semi-opaque screen, hedge or accent plant.
Performs best in enriched, well draining soil. Apply a tree and shrub fertilizer in spring. To promote dense growth, prune back about one-third of foliage annually in spring.
