This perennial, deciduous shrub also goes by the names Indian Currant and Buckbrush, growing up to 6 feet tall. Clusters of greenish white flowers grow before giving way to attractive, pink to purple berries that persist throughout the winter. It grows in full to partial shade, requiring a low to medium amount of water, and preferring well-drained sandy, loam, or clay soil. This shrub provides food, cover, and nesting sites for birds, small mammals, and browsers.
