This is a wonderful native shrub that produces fantastic red berries in the fall! The flowers bloom in June and are not as showy as the berries but still really interesting up close. They are small with four purplish petals. The fall color is variable from yellow to oranges and reds.  

Unlike the invasive Euonymus (Burning Bush) the Eastern Wahoo supports the Geometrid Moth, the American Ermine Moth, and the ZigZag Herpetogramma Moth. The flowers attract many different types of native bees while the seeds nourish birds and mammals.

This is a tough plant, it can handle near full shade and tolerates most soil types. Since it can handle a good amount of shade and tolerate Black Walnuts' Jugalone it is a great option to pair with Black Walnuts. It is relatively fast-growing large shrub.
