An evergreen shrub trained as a small standard tree with striking green leaves edged in creamy white, providing bold seasonal interest. In late spring to early summer, it produces small white flower clusters that attract pollinators, followed by white berries that persist into summer and attract birds. Its upright, rounded canopy and colorful stems make it a striking focal point in gardens, mixed borders, or naturalized landscapes.
This shrub grows best in full sun to partial shade and tolerates a range of soil conditions, including moist or boggy areas. It is hardy, low maintenance, and effective for erosion control.
