    Nice plant but never really grew well for us. To get a decent amount of the red growth you need to prune it back so it produces new growth.

    Let me know if you find a supplier would be worth trying again.

    Propagates easily from hardwood cuttings. Pieces the size of a pencil pushed into the ground will often grow.

    The original one got blown over in one of the storms in recent years and I stupidly strimmed the one hardwood cutting I still had :-(

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Keane's of Kilcolgan Galway...had more ordered but they could not get any more. I had bought some from a Dutch nursery but again they were not great and reverted. I will take cuttings next month and try other sites. Perhaps a good feed of well rotted manure would ignite a long lasting spark!
