An elegant evergreen, with slender foliage that forms on gently splaying stems. It's great for adding year-round form and structure, but it's at it's most colourful in spring when the new foliage emerges in a bright pink flush, and again in winter, when it turns a burnished red. It looks wonderful when planted en-masse or when dotted through the front of a shady border.
