the season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🍃 The variegated foliage of 'Francis Mason' means less fully green photosynthetic surface, which is why good light supports both colour and vigour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌿 The arching stems are linked to flexible young growth and a softer wood structure, giving the shrub its more fluid architecture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌸 The flowers are tubular and produced in repeated flushes on new growth, which extends the overall flowering period significantly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🍂 The sepals remain after the petals fall, so the plant keeps ornamental value in the post-flowering phase as well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌡️ Its
