'Craig'

Pink (H8) flowers but not free flowering. After hard pruning it forms a compact grey-green shrub with the new growth being a brighter green.  The "original" and only surviving clone of a batch of seedlings raised in 1983 by Dr Griffiths. It was a deliberate cross between E. tetralix 'Bartinny' and E. manipuliflora 'Aldeburgh'. Named after Dr Griffiths' first grandson. Ht. 100cm.
