In late spring and early summer the arching stems of this pretty shrub are covered with ruby-red, pea-like flowers. Ideal for a sunny, well-drained site, its compact size is especially suitable for the smaller garden. - Garden care: Pinch out the shoots of young plants to encourage the development of a bushy habit. It needs to be pruned each year after flowering to ensure a bumper crop of flowers in the following year. Reduce the flowered stems to young sideshoots or low buds, taking care not to cut into the old wood.
- Humans/Pets: Harmful if eaten
