This deciduous shrub blooms with pink, white, red, & combinations of the same on the same branch! A must have for color in the early spring. Has an upright, rounded habit with spiny branches of green leaves. The flowers will mature to small fruits that will ripen in October. The fruits are very bitter raw, but can be cooked for preserves and jellies.
