When you first see this shrub you’ll be astonished by its exotic foliage. Long, lance-shaped leaves range from deep-purple to black, and even the young stems are purple as well. As if that weren’t enough, clusters of pink blossoms will spring forth as summer approaches, emitting a delightful lemon scent to further tantalize your senses. Butterflies will flock to your garden drawn by your flower’s scent and sweet nectar. As summer begins to wane, clusters of purple fruit will be ready for you to harvest…and what a harvest they are.

Many parts are used medicinally and dyes are made from its bark and leaves. Even the wood itself cuts and polishes easily.
