This deciduous shrub boasts an elegant, upright habit with a layered, tiered branching structure, reaching a mature height of 5-8 feet. Hardy in Zones 5-8, it thrives in moderate climates with temperatures ranging from -20°F to 20°F. The shrub features pristine white flowers that bloom in abundance from late spring through summer, persisting in waves for an extended display. In the fall, the foliage transitions to a stunning reddish-purple, adding seasonal interest. Small red fruits appear after flowering, maturing to black and providing a late-season food source for birds. It prefers moist, well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade and exhibits moderate deer resistance. Its compact form and delicate blooms make it an excellent choice for hedges, borders, or as a specimen plant in both formal and informal gardens.
