...I'd like to recommend what I think is a truly wonderful plant. I'd
never
seen it until I first came here as a customer and I fell in love with
it
immediately. Bog-standard garden centres won't have it but they really
should have because it's such a joy. Take a look at:

Unusual. I was about to say that it looked a bit like a Weigela until I
realised that hakoneutsugi was the name of the plant and not the
photographer (embarassed smiley).
Weigela coraeensis is it's common name for those those that did not

already
know.

I thought it was weigela versicolour? anyway Sacha is right always causes
comment here when in flower.

Charlie I got the coraeensis bit by Googling hakoneutsugi. Images look
similar. Not many images for versicolour .
Agreed it is an unusual and very different plant and Sacha is quite right
when she says you won't easily find it.
