This low maintenance fire-resistant shrub provides spectacular colour throughout the growing season – from mottled rose-pink new shoots in spring, to deep reddish in summer, and outstanding burgundy in fall. The tiny clusters of yellow flowers mature to highly ornamental berries that are attractive to birds. Over time, a row of these shrubs would provide nice summer privacy in the extended zone Caution: Keep in mind the spines when working with this plant and watch for debris that could be snagged.
