Description

This shrub is highly ornamental with dense foliage. It can reach 3' tall and 6' wide. It is easily pruned and shaped, thus its popularity as a bonsai plant. Flowers are small, showy, and red orange, developing into dry red fruit (not edible). It is considered evergreen in mild frost-free winter areas. This shrub is great in containers. It needs extra summer water in hot inland valleys.

Water Saving Tip:

Give your sprinkler system a checkup when turning it on in the spring and occasionally during the summer.

Trim branches that are obstructing spray patterns and raise sprinklers that are too low for spray to clear the grass.
