The liters indicate the pot's capacity and Ø its nominal diameter. A larger pot does not always mean a taller plant. Size, foliage, and flowering vary depending on the specimen and the season.

The heights are approximate from the supplier's catalog; if you need a specific size, contact us before purchasing.

Before choosing it

• Watering: Maintain moderate moisture while establishing. Then adjust watering to the soil and climate, avoiding prolonged dryness and waterlogging.
• Where it fits: Partial shade borders, the back of the garden, and large pots with room to grow.
• Approximate mature size: A shrub that can reach 2.5–4 m in height and 1.5–2.5 m in width over the years. This does not correspond to the size at delivery.
• Flowering: Autumn–winter, depending on the climate and the specimen's development.

Basic care

Provide a well-draining substrate with organic matter. Protect from cold, dry winds. If pruning is needed, prune lightly after flowering.

The leaves have spiny edges: wear gloves and place the plant away from narrow walkways. The berries are ornamental and should not be eaten. The plant may be delivered without flowers. The images are for illustrative purposes: the size, shape, and flowering of the specimen may vary depending on the season.
