Read detailed description :

Remarkable, changing seasonal colours. In spring and early autumn, leaves are a bluish-green, edged with creamy-white, splashed with pink in the sun. In summer, yellow and green, then later on in autumn, pink and red, becoming completely red in the sun. Robust and very floiferous in April-May from an early age (which is rare). The numerous white flowers have 4 bracts (leaves disguised as petals) and are followed by oval, shiny red berries, of 1cm long. Slow growth when young, with an erect bushy form, becoming a more vigorous little conical tree.
