A robust, low-lying evergreen shrub, perfect for bringing life to shaded garden areas.
Features shiny, slightly prickly green leaves that turn a dramatic purple in winter.
In spring, it produces large clusters of bright yellow flowers, which are followed by attractive purple, grape-like berries that birds love.
An excellent choice for a mixed shrub border, as a focal point, or planted as a low, informal hedge.
Fully hardy, slow-growing, and drought-resistant, making it a wonderfully low-maintenance addition to the garden.
