This perennial evergreen shrub or small tree is highly valued for its clusters of white, highly-fragrant flowers that provide color on and off throughout the year, and its shiny black berries that attract birds. It is an excellent choice for shadier areas where it will remain full and dense while other plants may fail.
Recommended for shaded areas
