One of the nicest of the magellanica varieties. This graceful shrub has the same small red and purple flowers with an added bonus of having pink tinged variegated foliage. A lovely plant that has colour in several seasons. Good in sun or semi shade. A spectacular sight especially in the autumn when it really comes into its own. Height 1m (3')
