Wild Raisin has glossy, oval leaves and clusters of creamy-white flowers that appear in late spring to early summer. The flowers are followed by berries that ripen from pink to blue-black in late summer and wrinkle as they mature, giving the plant its common name. The fall foliage can become attractive shades of pink, red and purple. It is an excellent choice for a wet woodland, pond edge, native hedge or naturalized planting. It forms a dense, rounded shrub and is generally well behaved. It's a multi-season plant: it offers spring flowers, summer fruit, fall colour and winter structure, making it particularly useful in a naturalized garden. Avoid heavy pruning, which can remove next year's flower-producing wood. It performs best with reliable moisture but can tolerate some drying once established. Flowering and fruiting are generally better with more sunlight. Plant where it has room to reach its mature size.
