Comments:
Its profusion of purple or white berries add color to the landscape and are a food source for birds and deer. Produces flowers and berries on new wood so plants can be cut back severely in late winter after berries are gone. Excellent native shrub for naturalistic sites like the edges of woodlands and other places where natives are featured. This shrub is quite drought tolerant.
