Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Clusters of very cute, bell-shaped, white flowers in summer produce masses of remarkably large, brilliant-red, ornamental berries that hold from fall all the way into spring. Dense, glossy evergreen foliage turns a marvelous wine-red color with cool winter temperatures. This wonderful edible reaches just 8" high with a spread of 3'! It is the perfect groundcover for your shade garden and it is also beautiful cascading over a bank or container. PSh-Sh/M PPAF

Woodland ground cover, pots, rock garden.
