Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This dainty compact 3-5' shrub is the perfect addition to smaller gardens or containers. Beautiful and lightly-fragrant white tinged with pink flower clusters in spring contrast well with the deep green foliage. Blue-black berries follow the flowers if another carlesii bush is present. Deer and black walnut resistant; makes a nice low hedge too. S-PSh/M PP25872
Compact, deciduous shrub 3.5-5’ high and wide with an upright, rounded oval shape; foliage is deep green. Large clusters of white, fragrant flowers in spring. Deer resistant cut flowers attract birds and pollinators. Easy in average garden soil with moderate water in full sun to part shade. Blooms on last year’s wood so prune only once immediately after bloom;also works well in containers.
