I am looking for the name of a shrub I used to have in my garden which has now sadly died. Fully grown its about 5ft. About July its flowers are about 3in pendulums of deep red berries. I think I once heard either Carol Klein or Monty refer to it as an Himalayan something. I have been on the internet but as I don't know the name I am stumped. Hope at least one of you can help.
Hopefully
