Afterglow makes a compact, globe-shaped shrub that grows 3 to 5-feet tall and wide. This female Winterberry is covered in small orange-red fruit by early fall that stays on the plant all winter. It has dark-green, healthy foliage that is attractive all year and sets off the fruit in the fall. To set fruit, 'Afterglow' needs the male Winterberry, 'Jim Dandy', for pollination.
