It is particularly prized for its new growth; in early Spring, the young leaves emerge in a deep, glowing crimson that is significantly more intense and longer-lasting than other varieties. This display continues throughout the Summer whenever the plant is pruned or produces fresh flushes of foliage. Compared to its traditional cousin, this variety offers a much tighter, more manageable growth habit. The leaves are smaller and more closely spaced, giving the plant a naturally dense, bushy form that stays lush right down to the ground. Carre Rouge is excellent for a formal hedge that requires less maintenance to keep its shape, but it is also perfect as a vibrant focal specimen, a neat rounded shrub, or a dense privacy screen. Its superior branching and smaller foliage also make it a far better candidate for large decorative patio containers than the more leggy alternatives. In late Spring, it may produce clusters of small, creamy-white flowers, though it is primarily grown for its stunning, multi-toned foliage. This is a robust and resilient performer, showing improved resistance to leaf spot in damp climates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSite: \u003c\/b\u003eSemi sheltered\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil:\u003c\/b\u003e Prefers fertile, well-drained soil; avoid heavy, waterlogged ground\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePosition: \u003c\/b\u003eFull sun to partial shade; best red colour is achieved in sun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeason of Interest:\u003c\/b\u003e Year-round colour\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardiness: \u003c\/b\u003eHardy to -12°C\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 6-8ft (2-2.5m) \u003cb\u003eSpread:\u003c\/b\u003e 6ft (2m)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHedging spacings: \u003c\/b\u003e18’’(45cm) apart for hedges up to 6ft.
