Growing Tips

Plant in well-drained soil in full sun for the brightest foliage colour, though tolerates partial shade. In too much shade, foliage may become more lime-green. Prune hard in early spring to maintain compact shape and promote vibrant new growth. Extremely adaptable and unfussy. Water during establishment, then largely drought-tolerant. Feed in spring for best foliage colour.

Looks Great With

Create striking contrasts with purple-leaved plants like Berberis thunbergii 'Atropurpurea' or Weigela 'Wine and Roses'. Pair with blue-flowered perennials like Nepeta or Geranium for colour harmony. Combine with other coloured-foliage shrubs for dynamic foliage displays.

This versatile, low-maintenance shrub delivers months of bright colour and structure, making it an excellent choice for gardens seeking reliable year-round interest.
