This petite powerhouse of a shrub delivers a seasonal spectacle, starting with brilliant red foliage in spring that deepens to purple-red in summer and turns vibrant scarlet in fall. With its sleek, upright shape, it's tailor-made for compact gardens, and best of all, it brings all that drama with hardly any fuss.
This low-maintenance plant thrives in full to partial sun, benefits from a layer of mulch to retain moisture and keep roots cool, and responds well to a spring application of fertilizer just before new growth appears.
