A rainbow (almost!) of color, the fuchsia-red stems of this 5-6' shrub are clothed in glowing yellow foliage during the growing season, fuchsia in fall... breathtaking any time!; small flowers become white berries in fall. S-PSh/M

The red stems on this plant are wonderful during the winter to light up the garden. The foliage is bright golden yellow all summer.
