Eleutherococcus henryi

Eleutherococcus henryi is a bold, architectural shrub with striking, deeply divided palmate leaves that give it a lush, exotic presence in a garden setting. In summer it bears clusters of small, creamy white flowers in umbels that attract pollinators, followed by rounded black fruits that persist into autumn, adding interest long after the blooms have faded. With its robust, branching habit and distinctive foliage, this ornamental shrub works beautifully as a structural feature or in mixed borders where its texture and seasonal changes can be showcased. Ultimate height and spread: 3m (9.8ft).
