A native deciduous shrub with medium green foliage that turns reddish-purple in fall, providing seasonal interest. In late spring to early summer, it produces clusters of small white flowers that attract pollinators, followed by white berries in summer that feed birds. Its naturally rounded, multi-stemmed growth habit makes it excellent for naturalized landscapes, hedgerows, or wildlife gardens.
This shrub grows best in full sun to partial shade and tolerates a wide range of soil conditions, including moist or boggy areas. It is hardy, low maintenance, and ideal for erosion control.
