This is a colourful, evergreen shrub with distinctive variegated foliage and a "fountain-like" habit made up of arching cane-like stems.
Francis Mason foliage starts off as orange/gold when young and changes to a darker green with gold edges when older. During summer and autumn it produces multiple flushes of pinky-mauve tubular shaped flowers.
The fountain nature of the plant means that it will need a few light trims throughout the growing season but for little effort it will be a very good feature and will reward you with masses of fragrant flowers.
Francis Mason is an excellent shrub that can be a very attractive main feature or just fill those difficult spots. Its ability to handle full sun and still be able to work well in full shade is remarkable.
