White fruits with a pink dusting.

A well-branched, upright form, Magical Mandy's delicate, pink flowers bloom from the ground to the far-reaching tips of every stem in early summer, followed by clusters of soft-pink, pearl-like fruits in early fall. Plant in irregular groupings or as an informal hedge for a readily available supply of cut stems for floral arrangements in late summer and early fall.
