Description
There are many reasons to grow this lovely, native shrub as a part of your landscape. First, because it is native it has few problems. In the Spring you'll get lovely umbrels of white flowers and glossy green leaves shaped like a maple tree's foliage. In Autumn you'll het these beautiful colors that range from red to pink to purple and purple.blue, plus it has berries - handsome dark blue berries that wildlife loves.
This picture was taken today, October 11, 2013, in Green Lane, Pennsylvania, USA. The leaves are just beginning to turn. In a week or so they will be gorgeous purple/blue to magenta.
You can read more about them here. They grow in our woods, like rich, moist earth and partly shady locations.
