A deciduous shrub with striking green leaves edged in creamy white, providing bold seasonal interest. Its medium green foliage emerges in spring and turns reddish or purplish in fall. In late spring to early summer, it produces small white flower clusters that attract pollinators, followed by white berries in summer that feed birds. Its upright, rounded growth habit and colorful stems make it a standout in 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.
