Description

A deciduous shrub (4-6' tall and wide) with bronze-red foliage that is mottled with pinkish cream coloring; it deepens to rose and bronze. Full sun is needed to develop the colors. Bright red berries appear in the fall. Each branch has long, sharp thorns so it forms a good barrier.

Water Saving Tip:

Consider replacing some lawn areas with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs.

Good candidates for removal are portions of large lawns, areas where no one uses the grass, patches that don't grow well, or spaces too small to water without overspray.
