Elliptic to obovate leaves emerge light bronze-purple in spring, gradually mature to dark purple by summer and turn reddish in fall. Mostly solitary, white to pale pink, sweetly fragrant flowers appear in early spring before the leaves and are followed by dull purple, edible fruit in summer. Moderate water needs once established.
