Description
A compact, deciduous variety bearing clusters of single, trumpet-shaped, dark pink flowers which emerge from carmine red buds between May and June. These are produced above arching stems of attractive, deep purple-brown leaves that become more intensely coloured the more sun the plant receives.Light pruning should be undertaken after flowering just to maintain the shrubs dense, healthy growth habit and shapely form. A garden classic that’s perfect for adding impact to the front of a sunny border or smaller spaces in the garden.
