This evergreen shrub provides a lush, glossy green backdrop year-round, beautifully highlighting its vibrant blooms.

A low-maintenance choice, offering a dramatic garden presence without demanding much of your time.
Ideal for garden beds, borders, or large patio pots, thriving in partially shaded areas.
Pairs wonderfully with heucheras, hostas, and ferns in Japanese or woodland-style gardens.
