A spreading, evergreen shrub with highly scented white flowers in winter, and slightly aromatic, lance-shaped, dark green leaves. This tough shade-tolerant shrub provides much-needed structure, scent and colour, and is ideal for a shady shrub or mixed border. The flowers are followed by long-lasting, blue-black berries. - Garden care: Lightly trim after flowering, if necessary. Add plenty of well-rotted compost when planting as it may become chlorotic if planted on poor, dry soils.
- Humans/Pets: Fruit are ornamental - not to be eaten
