Flowers mid summer followed by a profusion of white berry clusters that attract large numbers of birds for food. Branches great for cut arrangements. A decidious shrub, the berries last into winter.

    Extremely effective planted in groups. This white form is a good looking plant, not readily available in commerce. Color is really better than the species, according to some. Lighter green leaves.
