This outstanding shrub, thriving in the UK, showcases glossy green leaves elegantly edged with cream, complemented by striking red young growth. It remains evergreen, ensuring a continuous display of vibrant colours. Flourishing in sunlit UK environments and preferring acidic soil, regular pruning not only preserves its neat appearance but also stimulates fresh growth. flat heads of creamy flowers are borne in late spring adding an extra layer of allure. Acknowledged as one of the finest foliage shrubs, it attains a height of 2m and a spread of 1.5m, making it an outstanding garden shrub.
