Description

Stately, richly textured shrub with deep green leaves that are practically evergreen most winters. Spectacular white bloom in spring with rich red berries through the summer and fall. A wonderful four season shrub hybridized at the U.S. National Arboretum in Washington, D.C. It provides an effect in the landscape similar to evergreen rhododendrons, and it is much more widely adaptable. Shrub.
