It typically grows 6 to 20 feet tall and is prized for its multi-season interest. In early spring, it produces clusters of fragrant, white, five-petaled flowers that bloom before the leaves emerge, marking the seasonal arrival of shad spawning (hence the common name shadbush). The flowers give way to small, sweet, dark purple berries in early summer, which are edible and highly attractive to birds and wildlife.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWetland-edge and riparian restoration (FAC species - tolerates both moist and drier upland sites)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWoodland edge and understory plantings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWildlife habitat plantings - early-season pollinator nectar and summer bird-food fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNaturalized and native landscape plantings prioritizing multi-season interest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePollinator gardens, particularly for early-spring bee and butterfly forage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Conditions \/ Specification Data\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Sun to Part Shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil\/Moisture Tolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, well-drained soils; adaptable to both wet and dry sites, somewhat clay-tolerant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrought Tolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlood Tolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate - Tolerates periodic soil saturation but not prolonged standing water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShade Tolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tolerant - see flags regarding a conflicting external rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8-15 ft.
