In its typical form, this species is often a sprawling, rather shapeless shrub. The variety incanum selection dubbed 'Indians Grey' tends to be more compact and mounding, with beautiful grey stems, contrasting blue green leaves and lavender flowers borne in small clusters. These give way to large, shiny green berries.
