Neha, yes this is one...
we have had a rain of galphimias here in last few weeks...
seems the nursery trade is really pushing it
just today my garden supplier wanted me to buy 6 of these...

I did not since these do not produce berries for winter feeding of
birds..

they look nice , but ...

however its used in homeopathic preps for allergies I think...
