This shrub certainly has wow factor foliage. Its foliage is almost two-tone as it emerges then goes a very dark red. It also produces pink-tinged white flowers but the foliage on its own makes this deciduous shrub a winner.
You can treat this as a flowering shrub, in which case you have to prune straight after flowering has finished. Alternatively if you cut back to almost the ground in spring you can treat it as foliage shrub.
It likes a sunny site a will tolerate any well drained soil.
You can propagate by cuttings in summer.
