We first saw this plant in several gardens along the Hudson River and wanted it immediately. Not so easy to find. The normal V. dilatatum has red fruit, but dilitatum 'Michael Dodge' has golden yellow clusters. This is a truly gorgeous shrub for the fall garden. Grow with V. 'Cardinal Candy' for a heavy fruit set.
