This is a small bushy plant to about 40cm which has pink blooms in clusters in mid summer through to autumn. The leaves themselves are very attractive being a lustrous green. It can be pruned to shape it , but even without pruning it will develop into a nice compact bush for you. It likes a moist soil and a sun filtered partly shaded woodland site. It does not like hot dry conditions. If you live in the north, ensure the plant is in partial shade in a cool spot and cover the soil with a thick mulch to keep it moist. The blooms make a good cut flower .
