Why we love this plant: We love the year-round interest that this plant shows! In late spring, tiny whitish flowers adorn the plant in clusters. Brilliant fall colors appear in autumn, accompanied by bright red berries that last through winter. The soft texture and pliable branches make it a great option for screening utilities that may need to be accessed from time to time.
