The small, sweetly-scented,white flowers are carried in a long thin spray and are borne from September to December.These are followed by red berries in winter.
The flower nectar attracts Sunbirds and tiny insects to the garden, and the berries attract fruit-eating birds.Plant in semi-shade or shade.
Useful foliage plant for flower arrangements.
