Glossy blue-green trifoliate leaves emit a pleasing aroma when crushed: maybe lemony or musky but also a tad minty. Phenomenal fall colors when leaves turn orange to brilliant scarlet. Throughout summer, young leaves emerge reddish-pink, older leaves mellow into a deep green, and teenage leaves are lighter green, creating a lovely display.
Beautiful small bright yellow flowers in spring draw in butterflies. Small red fuzzy fruit clusters on females attract birds.
