I am a small evergreen shrub with a significant 'WOW' factor being covered in vibrant magenta flowers in spring.
My early growth can be spreading or cascading but I develop into a rounded shrub approximately 1m high.
While I am sterile and will not set seedpods, my blooms will attract bees, butterflies and beneficial insects.
I am a great choice for garden beds, container planting and rockeries.
I thrive in most well drained soils but dislike boggy and limey soils.
