Companion Plants
Plants that offer gold and yellow foliage in fall like Barberry, Spiraea and Juniper contrast well with the fiery-red berries and foliage of this plant. Summer and fall bloomers like Damiantia, Black-eyed Susan and Daylily extend the interest from bloom to berry
Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. For a tidy, neat appearance, shear annually to shape.
