It's in flower now - generally January to February, It can get to be a large shrub up to 12 feet tall and across. Mine is trained against a wall and pruned to within one bud of the old wood immediately after flowering. It needs a sheltered spot in partial shade. The only time it looks a bit 'off' is just after flowering when the old leaves (it is evergreen) look a bit tatty but by the end of April it has recovered.

Georgous specimen. It blooms at a time when most of the garden is still asleep.

Members' notes...
Good on an east facing wall provided the position is sheltered. Foliage can look tatty in early spring but it soon improves
