Outstanding striking shrubs for late-season colour, celebrated for its jewel-like clusters of bright violet berries that shine long after the leaves have fallen. In summer, delicate pink-lilac flowers appear, attracting pollinators before giving way to the berries that make this plant so unforgettable. From mid to late autumn, the berries ripen into vivid purple orbs, packed densely along bare stems for a dramatic display. They hold their colour well into winter, providing a unique splash of brightness on dull days and a valuable food source for birds. The foliage, too, has seasonal appeal – emerging bronze in spring, maturing to rich green in summer, and often turning golden before dropping.
