This curiosity of the plant world is best known for its architectural winter silhouette. When the crinkled green leaves drop in autumn, they reveal a tangled framework of spiralling stems that twist in every direction. In late winter and early spring, these bare branches are festooned with long, drooping yellow catkins, adding movement and colour to the garden. It is a slow-growing shrub that works wonderfully as a specimen plant in a winter border or a large container.
The twisted stems are highly sought after by flower arrangers for indoor displays. To ensure the plant establishes a strong root system, we recommend using Rootgrow when planting. To support strong structural growth and the development of those unique stems, apply Levington Fish, Blood & Bone in early spring.
