The feathery foliage of this low growing, suckering shrub, emerges each spring in a bright pinkish bronze flush, but quickly turns fresh lime - and then a rich, dark green. Forming an attractive leafy mound, it is topped from midsummer with large cone-shaped clusters of small white flowers. The interest continues well into autumn, when the foliage changes colour once again - this time taking on reddish tones before it is shed.
