Habitat: Bogs, fens, seeps, seepage swamps, tidal swamps, acidic alluvial swamps, wet flatwoods, pocosins, and borders of depression ponds; occasionally\ in mesic or even dry upland forests. Frequent throughout.
Wildlife value: This plant has little resistance to damage from deer. Its fruits are eaten by mammals and birds. Butterflies and pollinators are attracted to the flowers for nectar.
Suckering. Beautiful white flowers and long-lasting fruit. Tolerates most soil conditions including compaction, some salt, some flooding, drought, even pruning. Very effective in massed groupings. Fall foliage intense, shiny, raspberry to crimson, with purplish highlights. Delicate look. Can be planted in front yards since it is very well behaved. Doesn’t grow too tall or wide.
Earth Sangha Inventory
Founded in 1997, the Earth Sangha is a nonprofit public charity based in the Washington, DC, region. The Wild Plant Nursery is the most comprehensive source of local-ecotype, native plants in the Washington DC region, and the region’s only facility dedicated exclusively to this type of propagation. “Local-ecotype” plants are propagated from local, wild, naturally-occurring populations and are well-adapted to local conditions and for wildlife species that depend on the local forms, such as pollinators. Inventory is updated on a weekly basis so number may not be accurate.
