Keep it moist or else. This plant likes to show off it's large red fruit. White flowers bloom in late May. Fruit is a scarlet-red and is supposedly edible. I'll let you decide! Birds eat the fruit in late winter, if at all. Does well in good garden soil with full sun to light shade, but is not drought-tolerant.
