Attractive bamboo-like leaves, red when young, give this plant an interesting oriental feel. That combined with panicles of small white flowers, sometimes followed by orange red berries amongst colourful autumn foliage, make this dwarf evergreen shrub a 'must' plant especially with the Japanese garden enthusiasts.
