An evergreen plant with boxwood-like foliage with edible black berries in the fall. Flowers are violet-red and bell-shaped. Makes a charming dwarf hedge as well.

By: Conifer Kingdom

This gorgeous little shrub has very handsome boxwood-like foliage, only better! The new growth is a brilliant glossy red before maturing to deep, dark-green. Charming, rosy-red urn shaped flowers become small edible purple-black berries in fall. This is a wonderful addition to the woodland or ornamental edible landscape. S-PSh/M/Acid
