Its glossy green leaves turn brilliant shades of red and orange in the fall, providing a striking accent to the landscape. Inconspicuous berries grow on the plant in early spring and are followed by inedible red fruits that remain on the plant through the end of fall and start of winter, providing a food source for birds and other animals. Plant as a groundcover, for slope stabilization, or in woodland or shade gardens as an understory plant. It is tolerant of urban pollutions and difficult city sites.
