Plant description
A valuable garden staple, this evergreen shrub provides year-round interest and will produce its red buds and soft pink and white flowers, which appear in flattened clusters from midwinter onwards, at a time when colour is all the more important. Tough and tolerant of shade, it is a low-maintenance shrub that works equally well in the shrub border or large pot. It can also be used to make an informal flowering hedge.

Water shrubs regularly in the first year after planting and in dry periods. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant.
