The wiry branched stems are lightly leafed and are topped by large clusters of vibrant hot pink to red-pink flowers from spring until frost attracting butterflies

Insignificant white flowers are hidden by the foliage but are followed by blue-black berries that are exposed in fall when the foliage drops
