I'd guess this is a love it/hate it plant - there's not much room to feel neutral about the rather shocking color of the branches.

I wouldn't plant them near most traditional housecolors, because the combination probably won't look good. But as a stand-alone plant, specially in winter when the leaves are off, it's a sight to behold.
