This is a dense, spreading shrub which reaches 2-4'
in height, and up to 5' (perhaps more) in width, after several years.
Narrow leaves with downrolled margins are closely set around the stems.
The leaves are bright to deep green above, paler beneath, and 1-2½"
long. Dense clusters of red and honey- colored flowers stand upright
from the mature stems in fall and winter. This is a bright, clean-looking
foliage shrub at all times of the year, useful alone or in shrubby
borders and open banks. It delights in a sunny spot, with reasonably
well drained soil (no supplemental fertilizer should be needed) and
moderate to occasional, deep watering. It is hardy to around 20°
