Read detailed description :

Original and colourful leaves. The shoots appear early, in March, orangey-red tinted, the branches becoming quickly covered in orangey-yellow and pink-yellow leaves in April. In July-August, creamy-white flowers appear on erect panicles. This low plant grows rounded and compact. Vigorous and extending through suckers, perfect for borders, colouring your flowerbeds, garnishing the bottom of hedges and other bushes without vegetation at their bases. It can also be planted near water, as the roots will stabilise banks. Easy to grow, resistant to cold weather, though appreciating a sheltered zone for protection from the North. Plant in a filtering, fresh, to moderately dry, soil.
