Supposedly borderline hardy in the Northern UK, this one has cheerfully survived two winters with prolonged cold spells with temperatures down to -14C. It hasn't "batted an eyelid" and has flowered and grown as if this was normal. The secret may be in the excellent (excessive!) drainage of our light, stoney soil, which has meant its roots didn't suffer too much, and in the situation in the semi-shade in the lee of other taller plants and a latticework fence, which protect it from our biting winds.

Showy red fruit in the fall, which hangs on the plant for most of the winter here in my garden until the Cedar Waxwings find it, usually in late winter or early spring. These shrubs grow quite large, so be sure to give them enough room.
