'Starburst' is a low, spreading shrub with pale green foliage that becomes mottled white and tinged pink in summer before turning brilliant shades of orange and red in autumn. Yellow flowers are borne in racemes along the branches in mid-spring and followed by glossy red fruit. Can get to over a metre high and wide in time, but best leaf colour is obtained by giving the shrub a light trim each year after fruiting. Likes a sunny or partially shaded site in any well drained and reasonably fertile soil.
