Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of the most robust selections of this popular species from some of the most exuberant people we know, David and Dorothy Rodal. This 8' or more shrub produces attractive white flowers and, on well-watered plants, particularly large orangey red fruit – no, not quite the size of basketballs but nearly the size of a small grape -- held beautifully against the autumn foliage of reds, oranges and yellows, a wonderful November sight. This plant frequently grown for bringing cuttings indoors through winter until the Cedar waxwings go to work. Bright light or dappled shade with supplemental summer water where dry. Frost hardy in USDA zone 5, possibly colder.
