Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Its round leaves attractively edged in white to match its showy berries, this almost-native, easy-going shrub (to 3') slowly forms a companionable clump or thicket. S-PSh/M-D
Tough growing, delicate looking, suckering shrub…2-4' tall, white flowers May to June followed by attractive white fruit that is persistent through winter…dainty variegated foliage. This plant grows in even poor soils…wet areas, dry areas, will survive without supplemental water if it is sited in a spot of shade; seems to thrive on neglect (got a spot like that?)
