This shrub is known to be one of the best for a red autumnal colour. It is native to central US where it is often grown on roadsides to add vibrancy. It is thick with brittle branches and the younger branches are covered with velvety, purple hairs that tend to grow sideways. It looks great planted in shrub borders or on its own in the lawn. The hairy, decorative composite leaves grow in large numbers and are surrounded by panicles of tiny yellow flowers. The female flowers produce showy pyramidal fruiting clusters with each cluster containing several berry-like, hairy drupes which by autumn ripen and are a bright red gradually turning darker as they persist throughout most of the winter. The fruit attracts a variety of wildlife. It is an easy to grow, hardy shrub that can withstand temperatures as low as -15c.
