Description
The ‘Crimson Spire’ is a strong growing evergreen shrub which makes the perfect informal hedge. If left alone, the small, rounded green leaves will form a healthy shrub which glistens when it catches the light. The leaves are slightly sticky to touch and hold a sweet, resinous scent. The luscious leaves are accompanied by scarlet tubular flowers in June which are held in compact racemes. This evergreen is a great choice for bringing year round colour to your garden.
