Heatherbun is a dwarf, rounded cultivar that grows 6 to 8 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide. Its name derives from its medium-green foliage that turns an attractive heather purple to plum purple in winter. It is easily grown in average, moist, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. This plant functions well as a landscape specimen or as a hedge in foundation plantings where the attractive foliage can be enjoyed during the winter.
