GROWTH HABIT
‘Harlow Carr’ has an excellent bushy habit with upright and vigorous growth. It matures into an attractively rounded shrub with its flowers almost to ground level - a characteristic that we particularly favour. It is deserving of a prime spot in the border. It is also ideal for creating a short hedge.
