Read detailed description :

The ENDURING SUMMER® series groups varieties of very compact plants, perfect for pots on terraces and balconies as in gardens. The precocious flowering period can start as early as June or beginning of July, with repeat flowering up to autumn. The 'Red' grows in an upright and very compact form, covered with bunches of red flowers all summer. Will easily ramify even without pruning. The purpely-red leaf shoots will become robust, dark green and shiny leaves at maturity and turn red in autumn. The decorative bark is smooth and peels in strips.
