A fantastic dwarf form of this species, low mounding shrub. The new foliage growth is bright orange-red, and is psyllid resistant. Fleshy pink berries follow cream fluffy flowers. The berries are edible. Ideal for low hedging and borders or as a tub or patio specimen. Also good for bonsai and topiary work.
Good in a sunny spot as well as lightly shaded. Feed with a good all purpose fertiliser in the warm months.
