This 6 to 12 feet tall deciduous shrub gets its name from the silky hairs found on its twigs and leaf undersides. Clusters of yellowish white flowers bloom in the late spring to early summer, followed by drupes that change from white to blue and attract birds. It grows in full sun to partial shade, but can tolerate almost full shade, and prefers moist, slightly acidic soils.
