A stunning native hedge, perfect for privacy screening in exposed and wet locations.
Vibrant, waxy stems blaze in shades of yellow, orange, and red through winter, followed by pollen-rich catkins in spring that are a magnet for bees.
A hardy, fast-growing plant that's easily maintained at a height of 1-5m.
Plant in full sun for the most intense stem colour. Thrives in most soils but prefers damp conditions.
Easy to grow – simply trim it back to encourage a flush of new, brightly coloured stems.
