A semi-evergreen small shrub to 1m round. Lovely serrated leaves are a major feature of the plant, which are lime green in spring, darkening over summer and turning into a collection of fiery yellow, orange and red colours. In winter the leaves will turn dark burgundy, although the shrub may loose its leaves if the winter is very severe. Here in the Southern Highlands I find it does not loose its leaves. Dark pink/purple flowers in late spring/early summer. Full sun, easy maintenance
