Delicate and elegant ! The large delicate leaves will stay dark purple for the whole season. Umbels of delicate flowers in May-June, pink, then white colours, contrasting with the dark leaves. In summer, the red, then black berries will be well appreciated by birds. Any soil, even poor and relatively dry or chalky. An easy, decorative and rustic plant.
