Description

Outstanding Wisconsin seedling selection displaying outstanding fruiting and foliage characteristics. Upright to rounded multi-stemmed specimen with good density and freely produced large 4"-5" creamy-white flat-topped flower clusters during early summer. Magnificent clusters of fruit cover the shrub during late summer and change color from a creamy-yellow to red and mature a deep purple-black which creates an explosive color effect. Outstanding foliage quality, with elongated, leathery, high gloss dark green leaves which turn a rich wine-red in fall. Well drained soil. Good drought tolerance.
