Simpson's Stopper (Myrcianthes fragrans)
Can tolerate all light conditions.
Low water needs once established.
Size: 5-20 ft tall x 3-15 ft wide
Bloom Time: Spring
Simpson stopper is a lovely shrub with small bright green leaves. In the spring it produces little white puff blooms followed by orange berries that the birds love. It can be trimmed to a small hedge, or left to grow tall to make a privacy screen. In the shade it is less dense, but its lovely peeling bark is easier to see. In the full sun, it is more compact. Stoppers are a great alternative to the very common viburnum sold at big box stores.
