Habit

Normal shrub, 2-3 m tall, 3-5 m wide, initially upright, later broad to broadly prostrate, twigs taking root on contact with the ground, like a thicket; fast-growing

Blossom

Modest, white umbels after leaves shoot, end of May

Leaves

Ovoid, bluish to dark green; greenish orange in September to October
