This deciduous shrub is a host plant for the larvae of Henry's Elfin Butterfly and 
is ideal for boggy areas with full sun or partial shade. Leathery, dark green leaves 
adorned with inconspicuous greenish-white flowers in late Spring give way to
cherry-red berries from fall through winter, providing an vital source of food
for backyard birds and small mammals throughout the scarce Fall and Winter months.

• Support other wildlife species including bees, caterpillars, butterflies and moths
• Four season interest
• Never need chemicals and require less water once established

Available as a single shrub

This collection includes keystone plants and supports: 

- 33 native bee species

- 101 butterfly species

- 96% of backyard birds that rely on these insects to feed their young
