Be Inspired: How to Use this Plant
| Bloom Time | Spring |
|---|---|
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Deciduous |
| Special Features | Attractive Bark, Dramatic Foliage Color, Easy Care, Fall Color |
| Problems/Solutions | Deer Resistant, Rabbit Resistant |
| Growth Rate | Moderate |
| Design Ideas | True to its name, this plant tends to behave somewhat vine-like when planted in a shady spot, its multiple stems sprawling beautifully through companions. In fall, it splashes color in a woodsy understory and looks brilliant planted with dark conifers. Planted in the sun, it grows into a small, airy tree. Use several to make an arching, shady bower. Espalier against a shady north wall to showcase its attractive structure during winter. |
| Flower Color | Purple |
| Foliage Color | Red |
| Companion Plants | Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo); Astilbe (Astilbe); Hosta (Hosta); Dogwood (Cornus kousa); Leatherleaf Fern (Rumohra adiantiformis) |
| Care Instructions | Prefers evenly moist soils and some shade, but adaptable to most soil types and tolerates sun. Water deeply, regularly in first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency once established. Apply fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. Prune annually in late winter to promote vigorous new growth. |
