The tiny, nectar rich flowers give rise to pinkish-red seed pods that burst open to reveal orange-red berries. Fall foliage will add a bright pop of red and the elegantly structured stems will remain green throughout the winter. A perfect choice for woodland gardens and naturalized areas that need a bit of color. Deer and rabbit enjoy browsing on this plant.
