This large, upright deciduous shrub is celebrated for its striking burgundy-black foliage that provides a dramatic backdrop in any landscape. In early summer, it produces large, lemon-scented clusters of pale pink flowers, followed by edible dark berries that attract birds. Reaching up to 15 feet tall, it thrives in moist, well-drained soil and performs best in full sun to maintain its rich color. It is ideal for hedges, screens, or as a bold specimen in mixed borders.
