An evergreen, small to medium shrub. The gracefully layered branches are laden during Spring and spasmodically throughout the year with pendulous, creamy white, spider-like flowers. Requires no pruning only removal of unwanted branches. Provide with moist, preferably acidic, soil and plenty of organic matter.

Glowing maroon new growth matures to a deep burgundy on this tough and durable evergreen shrub. A profusion of bright fuchsia pink flowers glow against the dark foliage in early spring. Allow it to grow naturally as a large shrub or it can be pruned into a hedge, tree form, or as an espelier.
