A handsome evergreen shrub with elegant, dark green leaves and attractive red stems, adding year round interest to any garden. It forms a dense, bushy hedge, making it ideal for privacy screens or windbreaks, and can be easily trimmed to maintain a neat shape. In early summer, it produces delicate white flower racemes, followed by small dark berries that attract birds. Well suited to both sun and partial shade, it thrives in most well drained soils and is notably hardy once established. A sophisticated choice for formal gardens or naturalistic landscapes, offering structure and wildlife value.
