'Afterglow' has glossy green leaves in summer and bright orange-red fruit in fall that persist into the winter. Perfect for the shrub border or foundation planting. Likes moist locations and tolerates heavy soils. Plant with an early male Ilex variety (like Jim Dandy) nearby for pollination. Great choice for rain gardens.
