Tough, easy and adaptable - great for rock gardens and banks! Cool autumn temperatures bring a brilliant flush of fall color to the finely textured, glossy green foliage and highly ornamental red berries. An excellent spreading groundcover with thick intertwining, arching branches. Semi-evergreen in colder areas.
