This attractive evergreen shrub is particularly admired for its glossy green foliage and abundant clusters of vivid red berries, which provide a spectacular display from late summer and through autumn and winter. Its dense growth habit also makes it an excellent choice for screening, boundaries and training against walls, fences and trellis.
