Plant a few extra to use in winter arrangements and holiday decor! Native to North America, Arctic Fire Red is one of the most shade-tolerant ornamental shrubs. It is tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions and the bright red stems in winter add color to the landscape.
Growing Tips: Excellent as a cut stem for foliage filler.
