The emerging bronze leaves turn dark green and eventually turn orange-red-purple in autumn. Leaves are highly resistant to mildew and Cercospora leaf spot. ‘Cherry Dazzle’ has a restrained, compact, mounded habit that is 3 to 5 feet high and wide in 4 to 5 years.

‘Raspberry Dazzle’
‘Raspberry Dazzle’ boasts raspberry red flowers in summer and although they are not as profusely borne as those of ‘Cherry Dazzle’, they are nonetheless impressive. These lovely raspberry colored flowers are nicely displayed against small, lustrous dark green leaves which develop into a showy red color in fall. ‘Raspberry Dazzle’ grows 4 to 5 feet high and 2 to 3 feet wide in 4 to 5 years. Though the foliage may develop slight mildew, it is reminiscent of Cotoneaster apiculatus and has a unique branching pattern to the foliage.

The pure, snow white flowers have showy yellow stamens which open in July-August. ‘Snow Dazzle’ has a compact-mounded habit and will reach 2 to 3 feet high and wide in 3 years.

‘Ruby Dazzle’
‘Ruby Dazzle’ is the most compact and slowest growing of the five selections. It is prized for its ruby-red-purple foliage and dense compact spreading habit. ‘Ruby Dazzle’ is a superior foliage plant and considered as a possible alternative to Crimson Pygmy barberry. The pink flowers of ‘Ruby Dazzle’ are sparsely produced in August and have a compact mounded habit that is 2 to 3 feet high and wide in 4 to 5 years. This selection requires no pruning as it maintains a uniform dense network of stems and foliage. The lack of required pruning, coupled with the beautiful, red-purple, mildew and Cercospora resistant foliage, will make this a wonderful addition to any garden.

‘Dazzle Me Pink’
Copious bubble gum-pink flowers froth the foliage of ‘Dazzle Me Pink’ in late June-July, while the lustrous, dark green leaves serve as a great contrast to the bright flowers. ‘Dazzle Me Pink’ grows from 3 to 5 feet high and wide in 5 to 7 years and has, for a period of 8 years, maintained a compact, mounded habit. The foliage is highly mildew resistant but does tend to abscise in autumn earlier than the other selections. ‘Dazzle Me Pink’ is the first to flower and is stunning in its best incarnation.
