Common name: Lemonade Berry
Special notes: This aromatic, evergreen shrub with leathery leaves produces profuse, long-lasting clusters of pinkish-white blooms in spring, that turn to berries by fall. The fruit is attractive to wildlife and can be used to make a lemonade-like drink. Can be clipped to function as a large hedge or screen. Great for a bird garden. Often used for erosion control.
