Deer browsing is a concern.

The site stays dry.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B+
The gold foliage and fall color carry more weight than the white spring flowers.
Growth Rate
B
It fills in at a steady pace without getting away from most homeowners.
Maintenance
A-
A light trim after flowering is usually enough to keep the mound clean.
Deer Resistance
B+
Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit
A-
It works well near walks and entries as long as it has room to mound naturally.
Screening Value
D
This is a color shrub, not a plant for blocking views.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for sunny foundation runs, walkway edges, and mixed shrub beds where you want color without committing to a larger shrub.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it flower much?
Yes, but buy it mainly for foliage and fall color, not flower power.
Will deer eat it?
It has good deer resistance, though no shrub is ignored in every yard.
Does it need pruning?
Plan on a light shaping after bloom if you want the neatest mound.
Why buy for fall color

Foliage, berries and late bloom — all three seasons of interest
Fall planting means roots established before winter
Grown and hardened off for New England conditions
We grow and acclimate our Proven Winners stock right here in New Hampshire, so it's ready for New England winters before it ever leaves our nursery.
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!

They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
