An upright shrub with nearly black foliage makes a dramatic statement in the landscape. In the Spring, white flower clusters emerge covering the branches contrasting with dark, small leaves for a striking effect. Easy to grow and low maintenance when planted in full sun with plenty of space for good air circulation. Best left unpruned, avoid trimming, remove heavy old wood to maintain optimum shape every few years.
