I find Midwinter Fire fussy. It resents being hard pruned to get a whole new set of colourful stems each year, easily gets frost bite and suckers like mad when it does decided it's happy.

Many thanks for those fine suggestions. One of the reasons for wanting a good colour, was that a friend was hoping to use the young stems for twining among willow to enhance the making of willow baskets. All good fun!
