  • Description

  • Notes

‘Autumn Magic’ is a cultivar that is distinguished from the species by having a denser, tigher form, larger fruit, and superior fall color. White spring flowers are followers by clusters of blue-black fruit that ripen in the autumn, but persist through the winter months, providing excellent forage to migrating birds like waxwing, finches, and wrens. A wonderful shrub for the foundation, a hedge, or to liven up the shrub border. Beautiful with larger ornamental grasses. Grows 3 to 6 feet tall and 4 to 7 feet wide.
