Lovely deep-green rounded herringbone foliage on long horizontal-cascading branches; and fairy floss flowers in pink and white, which sit in clusters on top of the stems so you can see them easily. Fascinatingly curly seedpods too, in autumn.

Plant it alongisde the twice-as-big Pink Poodle for maximum pinkitude!
