Care
It is a low maintenance shrub, but the plants can become woody with age, so for great winter colour it is advisable to prune almost to the ground each March, although you will sacrifice the berries. (A solution is to prune a third of the stems back each year.) The new shoots grow quickly, however! It spreads by suckering.
