This burgundy foliage shrub holds its deep colour best in full sun, making it a superb pink flowering evergreen for borders and pots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn spring the branches are studded with clusters of fringed, pink-red flowers, with sporadic later flushes through the season. The dark, purple-red leaves stay on the plant all year, giving structure and colour long after the flowers fade. Fire Dance is borderline hardy (RHS H4), so give it a warm, sheltered position or grow it in a pot you can move under cover in hard winters.
