Many garden centres sell this. It's nice to look at, but can quickly become an absolute pest. The berries are eaten (and thus the seeds dispersed) by birds, and you'll find it springing up all over the place. I have some, and I'm constantly hauling out new plants from all over the garden. In some states in Australia it's been officially condemned as a weed due to its rapid spread and taking over of watercourses and drainage ditches, which further disperse the seeds.
