Description

This deciduous shrub reaches 4'-6' tall and 9'-12' wide. Attractive, white flowers that look like flat-topped clusters bloom in the spring and summer. Later in the season, flowers give way to large clusters of red berries which mature to a black color. Birds and wildlife love the fruit. Ovate, dark green leaves turn an attractive reddish purple in fall. This shrub likes full to partial sun (plant in shade in hot summer areas) and medium watering. It makes a nice hedge. It needs well-drained soil.
