Description

This stunning native shrub is celebrated for its spectacular, iridescent clusters of vibrant purple berries that tightly wrap around arching stems. It provides vibrant, low-maintenance color, delicate spring flowers for pollinators, and crucial winter food for local birds.

During the spring and summer, the shrub produces tiny pink-to-white flowers that attract native bees and small butterflies seeking nectar.

Over 40 species—including cardinals, mockingbirds, robins, thrashers, catbirds, and towhees—feed heavily on the purple berries. The fruit is highly valuable because it persists into winter when other food is scarce.
