A deciduous shrub with long, cane-like, arching branches that will grow to about 3m tall and wide.
It has dull green, textured leaves that are rough to touch.
White, frilly, bell shaped flowers appear in large racemes along the branches making a wonderful display in spring to early summer time.
A strong contender for any colder climate garden as it brings lots of powerful colour in springtime - a herald of warmer days.
