This low-growing deciduous shrub has a spreading habit and forms a dense, mat-like ground cover, making it ideal for erosion control and landscape use. It is recommended for Zones 3–9 with excellent hardiness and thrives in full sun to partial shade. The plant exhibits vibrant fall color in shades of orange, red, and burgundy, adding seasonal interest to your garden. Its inconspicuous flowers give way to fruit that may not stand out prominently but still attracts wildlife. Adaptable to a range of soil types, including dry and rocky conditions, it requires well-draining soil for optimal growth. Deer-resistant and low-maintenance, it reaches a mature height of approximately 2 feet, with a spread up to 6 feet.
