A fantastic shrub - essential in 
the winter. It has bright violet 
berries in the autumn and winter. 
In summer the flowers are a pale lilac.

Can grow very tall so should be 
placed at the back of the border. 
It can be tamed quite easily to 
keep it small and will even survive 
in a pot to be placed by the house 
to be seen during the late autmn 
and winter. 

Needs a bit of sun but generally 
is a very tolerant shrub. Feed it 
n the spring and mid summer and 
give it a mulch of well rotted 
manure in late summer to ensure 
loads of berries. One of my 
favourites to use in a border design.
