Fairly hardy, semi-deciduous, large shrub with glossy leaves that flush red in spring. This beautiful plant deserves pride of place in any garden with its profuse, sweetly scented, yellow flowers from Sept. to Dec. and black fruit on an enlarged red calyx. The seeds attract birds to the garden. Grows very well in containers in sun or semi- shade areas. Used medicinally.
