The site is dry or ordinary.
You prefer a tough deciduous shrub.
Skip This If
You need winter privacy.
You want showy flowers.
Deer feed heavily nearby.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B+
The orange new growth and fall color give it useful presence, but the summer flowers are secondary.
Growth Rate
A-
It fills in quickly enough for massing and bank planting without becoming a constant pruning job.
Maintenance
A-
Once established, it asks for little beyond occasional thinning or shaping.
Deer Resistance
B+
Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit
B
It works in smaller foundation or border areas if you allow room for its rounded habit.
Screening Value
C+
It can soften a view in groups, but it is not dense or tall enough for real privacy.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for slopes, utility areas, and mixed borders where toughness and foliage color matter more than a polished, flower-heavy look.

Customers Usually Ask
Are the flowers the main feature?
No, buy it for the orange new growth and fall color.
Can it handle a dry spot?
Yes, it is a good candidate for dry to average sites once established.
Is it good for privacy?
Only for soft screening in groups, not true privacy.
Why buy for fall color
See the actual color before you buy it
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!
