This bushy, deciduous shrub produces oblong to rounded, dull green leaves and clusters of tiny, bell-shaped, pink flowers that lead to pure white fruit. These berries ripen in late summer to early fall and are enjoyed by birds and small mammals, though are somewhat toxic to humans. This plant grows 3 to 6 feet tall and wide in full sun to shade and in dry to moist soils.
