    I am not wanting to plant a shrub near this yet as I dont know what colour it changes to. What advice would you give as to what to plant next to it. Either for spring or autumn.

    It has good autumn colour and really nice leaves

    It really depends on how much space you have, as you can see from the photo, it does take up a fair bit, so that would affect what size of shrub or other plant you could put in.

    Other than that, do you want something to complement it, or to give colour and interest at a different time? That would give some different answers! ;) (and, of course, there's always spring or autumn bulbs.........)

    Very impressive, will it grow in shade? I have a hankering for this at the end of the garden [​IMG] [​IMG]
