A striking, compact shrub admired for its vibrant foliage that shifts with the seasons. New growth bursts with golden yellow, orange, and red tones, maturing into rich green before transitioning to fiery red in cooler months. This ever-changing colour display provides year-round interest and impact in the garden.
Ideal for feature planting, mixed borders, low hedges, and containers. Its compact size and vibrant colour make it especially effective as a statement piece in modern landscapes, courtyards, or small gardens.
