Name: Black jetbead (Rhodotypos scandens')
Zones: 5 to 8
Size: Up to 6 feet tall and 9 feet wide
Conditions: Full sun to partial shade; fertile, moist, well- drained soil
Peak Time: Spring to early summer
Black jetbead will grow almost anywhere, thriving in shade or sun and in a wide variety of soils. I like its graceful. arching , twiggy stems. Flowers appear in spring and are followed by pea-size black fruit. It's a moderately rapid grower, but it's easy to maintain with pruning. If the plant gets too leggy or crowded, cut back the older branches to the ground after it flowers.
