Outstanding and One of the earliest flowering varieties, this lovely shrub will produce an abundance of rose-purple blooms as early as February and throughout March. For a truly stunning effect plant above a carpet of dainty white Snowdrops, which will flower around the same time. Beautiful. Praecox has gained the Royal Horticultural Societys Award of Garden Merit for reliable performance, stability of colour and form and good resistance to pests and diseases. A great plant for the border and suitable for containers and smaller gardens, its mature height and spread is 1.2m. Thrives in full sunlight and prefers moist but well-drained humus-rich acid soils.
