The American cranberrybush (not a true cranberry) is a wonderful native addition to the garden because of its seasons of interest. With spring comes the onset of broad, flat, lacy white flowers that attract butterflies and other pollinators and eventually mature into drooping clusters of edible, bright red cranberry-like berries in autumn. Dark green three lobed, maple-like leaves cover the plant throughout the growing season and often have vivid fall color displays in shades of red or purple. Plants have little to no disease or insect problems and are found in moist/wet soils (though tolerable of other growing conditions) in full sun or part shade. 'Alfredo' is known for its compact, rounded habit and excellent burgundy fall color.
