Success Starts With Soil

This open, arching native shrub dazzles with clusters of bright purple berries that encircle the stems in late summer and fall. Pale pink flowers bloom along leaf axils in spring. A wildlife magnet and natural mosquito repellent, it shines in naturalized spaces and pollinator gardens.
