The story

Color without waiting for flowers.

New leaves come out candy-apple red, turn pineapple yellow, and keep pushing orange tips all season. Small purple-pink flowers show up in late spring, which is almost beside the point.

Light

Full sun for the best color; part sun turns it greener.

Water

Water weekly the first summer. Moderate after that.

Planting

Plant in spring or fall in average, well-drained soil.

A small shrub that looks like it's in bloom for six months.
