A charming, easy-to-grow shrub, Mini Man has all of the same great features of the species in a compact form: medium green felty leaves in summer, clusters of white flowers in spring, persistent red to blue-black fruit and red fall color. Native to Russia and northern China, this is an excellent compact shrub for cold climates. Useful in mixed borders and foundation plantings. Prefers loamy soils but adapts to clay and sand. Blooms on old wood. Prune after flowers are spent.
