    Strap-shaped cherry pink leaves, each striped with a dark bronze-pink, radiate from the stem, creating an exotic-looking display, which is perfect for jungle-style borders or creating a feature in a large pot. A dazling new form, it will produce clusters of creamy-white summer flowers, followed by white or blue tinted berries when it matures.

  • Garden care: In spring when new growth appears and all danger of hard frosts has passed cut back frost-damaged branches to just above the newly formed shoots.
