A little stunner of a plant, this small shrub will flower almost continuously throughout the summer and autumn months. Its bright coral flowers are born freely on evergreen bushes. Excellent for containers in a sheltered site or for a corner in the garden. Being a fairly rapid grower it needs a good spring prune to keep it neat and tidy. Needs a sunny, fairly poor, well drained site. As a precaution take a few cuttings before the winter... they are really easy, as it can be a little tender in a hard winter. Height 1m (3') max.
