This tall & slender deciduous shrub is primarily grown for its foliage, which emerges green in spring, but (if exposed to lots of sun) will soon turn a deep burgundy colour. In early summer, the stems are crowned with big, flattened sprays of lightly perfumed, small pink flowers. It makes a dramatic st&-alone statement, & is useful for adding contrast & interest to the shrub border. Flowers May-June. Height 301cm+. Supplied in a 3 litre pot.
