Handsome evergreen shrub with shiny leaves on purple stems and, in late winter/early spring, tiny white, thread-like flowers that give a wonderfully spicy aroma to the winter air. Growing to about 18″ tall, these shrubs spread slowly to 4′ wide adding more stems for more flowers and more wonderful winter aromas and more of the distinctive, round black fruit. A must have for the shady garden with rich soil and a little summer water. Extremely choice. Frost hardy to -10F, USDA zone 6.
