About This Plant

Also known as White Baneberry, this plant is commonly called Doll's eyes for the white, berry-like fruits that form on red stems and persist in late summer and fall. A dark dot on the poisonous fruit make them look like an eye. Some birds will eat the berries. Doll's eyes prefer hardwood or mixed forest environments.
