These upright growing shrubs grow to about 1 m in height and are evergreen in most winters. After pollination by insects, the beautiful white flowers develop into tasty, glossy purple berries of 6-7 mm, which taste delicious in salads or a dessert: very healthy! Give them a spot with moist, slightly acidic soil, preferably some sun, not too windy, and well-drained. Protect during harsh winters.
