Gracefully arching stems with large alternate leaves produce pendant greenish-white flowers in spring followed by dark blue berries in fall. A native that is at home in gardens and natural areas. Plant in partial to fully shaded areas in moist, well-drained soils and allow this elegant perennial to create a small colony over time. A number of pollinator insects, and ruby throated hummingbirds, find the nectar nourishing. Unfortunately, deer find the foliage tasty.
