Planting & Care

A compact evergreen, prized for its striking deep purple foliage and a profusion of vibrant, subtly fragrant red-purple flowers that burst forth in late winter and early spring.
Perfect as a standout feature plant, in group plantings, or even as a unique and colourful hedge.
Happily grows in a container, making it ideal for patios and urban courtyards.
Versatile and easy-going, it thrives in both full sun and partial shade.
Wonderfully low-maintenance, it's rarely troubled by pests or diseases and requires no regular pruning.
A relative of Witch Hazel, its unique flowers have long, ribbon-like petals that appear in generous clusters.
Offers year-round interest with its colourful foliage, an excellent choice for smaller gardens.
