    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    ?Ideal as a groundcover and for banks? (Hillier), this useful dwarf (to 3') procumbent shrub has unusual, narrow, rosemary-like leaves and, in fall, small but showy pink and orange seeds. S/M

    By: Forestfarm

    Small, deciduous shrub, reaching only 3' tall and wide at the most, with an open habit of slender, arching branches and narrow, blue-green leaves that turn brilliant red in fall. Spring flowers are purple brown but hardly noticeable. It's the fruit they produce that is enchanting, pink, 4-chambered capsules with bright orange arils. Easy in part to full sun with regular summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 2. Celastraceae
