Read detailed description :

Very floriferous from a young age. Flowers with large white bracts in April-May. These flowers make different coiling forms during their blooming period, an original and decorative performance to watch. The flower is comprised of bracts (leaves disguised as petals) and are followed by oval, shiny red berries of 1cm long. The oval leaves end in a tip and are a relatively shiny green, becoming dark red in autumn. Forming an erect shrub, it can, though rarely, become a little tree with modest dimensions.
