Use on banks or as a ground cover. Good ground cover under conifers or deciduous trees. Compact habit so could be used in a short border and for ground cover in a woodland setting.

Shrub 1–3 m tall that blooms April – June. Clusters of showy reddish-pink flowers provide a critical source of early-spring nectar for hummingbirds. The round blue-black berries are unpalatable to humans, but attract birds to the garden. Coarse, well-drained moist soils preferred. Fairly drought-resistant once established: full sun to partial shade. Excellent, showy, back-of-border shrub for the home garden. Beautiful in groups and drifts in larger settings.
