This plant is extremely versatile.
Can be used purely for culinary purposes, as you can use the leaves or the berries… don’t use too much as it is quite intense in flavonoids.
This shrub makes a fantastic thick hedge in semi-full shade.
Growing between 2-3m and 1-2m spread, enjoying moist conditions and tolerates frost.
Creamy white flowers in spring, the stems are red with leathery leaves, this plant can easily be pruned and shaped.
Great plant for so many reasons!
