Ooohhh how excited can you get about a plant! A red form of this wonder. One of the most spectacular of all the winter flowering shrubs. This remarkable plant has clusters of orangey red flowers on bare branches during January, February and March. These have the most exquisite almost intoxicating scent. Large summer foliage adds to the beauty creating an almost tropical effect. Good in a sheltered sunny or semi shaded site. Height 1.2-1.5 m (4-5'). VERY RARE.
