Flowers cover this shrubby plant in summer. Beginning in fall, the flowers are followed by small, round fruits that turn from green to yellow to orange to red as they slowly ripen. They are long-lasting and will "decorate" the plant right through the winter. You'll find these ornamental plants for sale just about any time of year. They're sometimes sold as Christmas Cherry or Christmas Pepper around the holidays.
