Read detailed description :

Creamy white flowers from July to September, organised in terminal panicles of 6 to 15 cm diameter. Beautiful and decorative foliage all year round that can reach 10 cm long. The shiny dark green foliage has a red tinge at the begining of the leafs veins. In late summer and autumn, it bears bluish black fruits in clusters. It quickly takes the shape of a nice upright shrub and can become a small tree with age.
