A stiff shrub with dividing branches that spreads in a flat plane. It is deciduous but leaves appear very early. Widely grown in gardens like this one, growing up the front of someone's house but occasionally naturalised, mainly on calcareous soils. They grow to a height of roughly 1m with a spread of 3m. They are a common plant often chosen for their hardiness and low cost.
They have bright red spherical berries and solitary, pink flowers come out in May-June. The glossy leaves are 5-10mm long.
