A deciduous shrub, it is dense with an upright, multiple-branched growth habit. Foliage is a grey-ish green that turns deep wine red the fall. Burgundy stems add seasonal interest to this edible shrub. White flowers that are sometimes blushed pink are followed by medium to large sized, tangy, sky blue berries. 'Elliott' is a very late variety with berries ripening into September. Needs a late or very late season pollinator.

Very late. Enjoy berries through September with this excellent choice. Burgundy tinted wood contrasts nicely with the gray-green foliage and sky-blue berries. Berries may be quite tart if picked before fully ripe. Berries store well for a long period.
