Large, vase-shaped shrub. Beautiful white flowers in May. Fall color is a fabulous maroon-red with fruit birds love. Highly adaptable to all soil types. Best grown in full sun to part shade in well-drained soil. Fruit attracts bird and other wildlife. This shrub is also a host for butterflies. Deer resistant.
Typically found in the wild on wet prairies and open ground along streams and lakes. Does well in medium to wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade although it prefers full sun. The cone-shaped white flower clusters bloom in June. May be trimmed to the ground in March and will still bloom on the new wood. Effective for erosion control. Attracts butterflies. Deer resistant.
