Growing Tips

Plant in moisture-retentive soil in full sun or part shade. Thrives in wet conditions making it ideal for bog gardens. For best stem colour, hard prune every 1-2 years in early spring, cutting stems back to near ground level. Feed after pruning.

Looks Great With

Combines beautifully with red-stemmed Cornus alba varieties, Salix 'Britzensis', evergreen Carex, winter flowering Viburnum, and ornamental grasses. Underplant with snowdrops and winter aconites for early spring colour.

A low-maintenance shrub that delivers maximum impact during the quietest months of the gardening year.
