Perfect For

Excellent for adding foliage colour to mixed borders and woodland gardens. Ideal for containers on patios and in sheltered courtyards. Works beautifully in Japanese-inspired gardens and contemporary plantings. Perfect for providing contrast in shrub borders alongside green and silver-leaved plants.

Growing Tips

Plant in full sun or partial shade in moist, acidic, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Benefits from shelter from cold winds and harsh winter conditions. Water regularly during dry spells. Mulch with ericaceous compost to maintain soil acidity. Prune lightly after main flowering to maintain shape if required.

Looks Great With

Combines beautifully with other acid-loving plants such as rhododendrons, azaleas, and camellias. Works well with Japanese maples for layered foliage interest. Complements hostas, ferns, and spring bulbs. Provides excellent contrast to golden or lime-green foliaged plants.

A distinctive and colourful evergreen that brings exotic flair and rich burgundy tones to the garden with relatively low maintenance once established in suitable conditions.
