POINTS OF INTEREST:

{Established}
{Young}
{Winter/Sping Flowers}
{Summer Foliage}
{Autumn Foliage}

APPLICATIONS:

{It is nice to see these in group plantings with other colourful shrubs or featured in a woodland garden.} 

{An amazing hedge featuring 'Butterfly bush', 'Forsythia', Spirea? or Deutzia? , ??? and 'Azalea'}
{I would like to plant this nearby to a red flowering quince as they flower at similar times and would be a nice burst of colour at the end of winter...}
