The Gardener's Notepad
A fine evergreen shrub for sun or shade, although it usually suffers in our winters, and that has curbed it's overuse. Very nice white flowers in mid-Spring, which the bumblebees make good use of while they can. Pea sized black berries will follow. The leaves are especially glossy and compliment almost anything. Hence the ridiculous level of overuse. It looks good though, I have to admit.
