Description
This forager’s favourite is famed for its sprays of creamy-white, fragrant flowers which are wonderful for picking and using to make summer cordials and for flavouring cakes and puddings. The blooms are loved by pollinators and the dark, autumn berries are enjoyed by hungry birds and mammals.
