Pink, white, and green dappled foliage makes this plant a very popular choice. Fiery orange-red twigs lend interest to the winter landscape. Deer resistant and easy to grow in average to moist soil in full sun to part shade. Best foliage color occurs in full sun.
We love all the possibilities that this shrub offers! It can be trimmed as topiary (Image 2), grown as a hedge (Image 4) or left in its natural form (Image 3).
