‘Daredevil’ is a striking hardy shrub, that flowers from July until October. It produces bundles of magenta pink blooms, that form in large clusters, above a compact growing habit of deep maroon leaflets. Much loved for its low maintenance, make sure you incorporate into woodland, cottage and wildlife gardening schemes for a bold focal point and great Autumnal colour. Place in dappled shade and watch it thrive to a height of 80cm, along with a spread of 120m. This unusual variety adds extra drama to the ordinary form, featuring brightly coloured flowers set against contrasting dark purple foliage. Grow in a sunny or semi shaded position, with shelter from cold, drying winds in any rich fertile soil that remains reliably moist throughout the year. Improve the soil prior to planting by adding with plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost, ensuring that it is mixed in thoroughly and deeply. Alternatively plant in patio containers in soil based compost such as John Innes No. 3.
