This dwarf flowering shrub is a tough with a spectacular color changing display that you'll fall for. This open upright habit is smothered in pure white flowers in the early spring. These fragrant flowers will delight both you and your butterflies and other pollinators. It has green foliage throughout the season that turns an attractive orange red in the fall. It even produces fruit from July to October that can be made into jellies and even wine. Birds love the delicious little "cherries" as well! Use it tandem with other plants for a truly sensational color show. We think the best use for this plant would be a mass near the front of a large shrub bed, just as we might use an azalea. It will require occasional maintenance and upkeep, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season's flowers. Wherever you plant it, the white blooms, color changing foliage, and delicious berries will please both you and your garden wildlife. Add it to your landscape today!
