Its silver-green leaves give it spring and summer interest, but its silver stems and red to yellow fruit make it attractive all winter long. It is as tough as nails and is not susceptible to any particular pest or disease. It's an underused plant that deserves more attention. It likes full sun, moderate water, tolerant of cold, wind, alkaline soil, and standing water. It has edible berries that the birds love.
