Plant description
Colourful, adaptable and easy to grow, this handsome shrub offers year-round interest with its lustrous foliage. The clusters of pink buds, which appear in autumn before opening in spring to blush-white flowers, adds to its appeal. It's equally happy in pots or borders - provided it is not sun-baked, and gets a reasonable amount of food and water.
