Clustered spikes of tiny, bell-shaped, watermelon-pink buds open to blush-toned flowers in the leaf axils of arching stems in early to mid-summer. Flowers are followed by clustered spikes of round berries (drupes) that start pale green, ripen to clean snow white with a waxy skin by late summer looking like big pearls. Fruits remain on the leafless winter stems showing off until spring.
