The 'Sibirica' is the ultimate choice for outstanding winter colour. The luscious leaves are ovate in shape and dark green in colour; they turn to a rich burgundy red in autumn which provides a lovely display. After the leaves fall the 'Sibirica' really comes into its own; its stems glow with a breathtaking coral colour that brings a burst of life to a stark winter garden. In spring, new foliage emerges and the fresh leaves are accompanied by cream flowers, which appear in corymbs. A great choice for adding year-round interest to your garden.
