This decorative deciduous shrub is mainly grown for its colourful foliage, which emerges a vibrant coppery red and turns deeper, purple-red as it matures. In midsummer, there are also rounded clusters of near-white flowers, which offer a striking contrast. Later in the summer and lasting well into autumn, these flowers are followed by glossy red berries. A highly ornamental plant that will liven things up in the shrub border. - Garden care: Once established, cut back up to one in four of the oldest stems to their base, after flowering. Then, apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant.
