The foliage of this evergreen shrub may be small in size, but their colouring really makes them dazzle. Throughout the warmer months they're a blend of green and gold with just a hint of pink, but as the temperatures drop, the pink becomes more pronounced and often ripens to a rich burgundy. - Garden care: In spring, lightly trim any branches that spoil the symmetry of the plant. Afterwards apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted leaf mould or composted pine needles around the base of the plant. In colder regions it will need protection during the winter.
