This colourful shrub really is an all-rounder: it boasts dramatic, changing foliage, a stunning floral display and a compact habit, making it suitable for a range of outdoor positions. The leaves emerge a fresh green colour in spring and are soon followed by tubular pink flowers that stud the length of the branches. The foliage then takes on a bronzed hue and this intensifies over summer; by autumn, the leaves are a showstopping bronzed red. This versatile shrub looks great on a border and is also suitable for a pot on a sunny patio.
