A good choice for a smart evergreen shrub flowering in late summer. It has a good, thick covering of shiny, dark green leaves all year, it makes a very effective background for the white flowers which are followed by shiny black fruit. Use in hedges or to break up a long border, giving climbers something to sprint over. Give a late winter trim for shape; if clipping hedges in late summer you'll lose the flowers.
