Spectacular evergreen shrub with some of the best foilage interest. Easy to grow, fully hardy, and fiery red young leaves that mature to a rich and dark shade of green.
Delicate white flowers emerge in late spring on this variety, which is particularly attractive to bees and other beneficial insects, hence why it has been labelled by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators'.
Easy to care for, with little attention needed apart from the removal of spent flowers and a light trim every couple of years to shape. Although fully hardy, this grows best in a sheltered spot, as the young foliage can be susceptible to severe frost damage and high winds. Plant in borders or large patio pots. Best in acidic soil, so use ericaceous compost when growing in containers.
Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come.
Supplied as an established plant in a 8-9cm pot, ready to plant.
