What you need to know at a glance; Claret Tops is a striking dwarf evergreen shrub that looks a little like a Conifer. The new growth on this shrub is its greatest feature as it is vibrant red, coupled with prolific white flowers in spring, makes this a really lovely addition to create texture and colour variances in your garden. – Full Sun to part shade – Grows to 1.5 mtrs tall and around 1 metre width – Tolerant of most soil conditions – Looks best with regular water – Loves our coastal conditions – Flowers in Spring – Low maintenance, give it a prune after flowering to promote fresh lush new growth – Dig a hole twice the size when you plant and fill with fresh free draining soil. Water regularly until the plant has established itself – Striking option to topiary or bonsai, or mass planting into a hedge works really well – Will grow well in pots as well Colour, colour, colour, you can never add too much colour to your garden. I love it when I find hardy full sun plant options that give my garden texture and colour all year around. The striking red new foliage growth will give your garden that beautiful kick of colour you will love.
