This versatile variety forms a rounded-mound of attractive foliage that emerges with a lovely bronze tinge transitioning to a rich olive-green as it matures. Abundant showy clusters of frilly raspberry-colored flowers appear primarily in spring with sporadic bloom year-round in mild climates. Well-suited as an accent foundation planting hedge mass planting espalier or small patio tree. Also makes a great planter or container specimen. Prefers a well-drained soil in a full to partial sun exposure.
