Botanic information
Leaf: The dark green leaves are variable from obovate to narrow lanceolate with a serrated margin. The lower leaves tend to be larger and the peduncle is short.

Flower: The tubulate flowers have 5-sepals and a split corolla with 5-petals that are spread out like a fan and are yellowish towards the base. They appear profusely in the leaf axils on the upper part of the stem during summer.

Fruit: The tiny fleshy dark-blue to purple drupe normally contains 2-seeds that are viable but the plant is commonly reproduced vegetatively to maintain true to type.
