'Hidcote' is a small, bushy, semi-evergreen shrub with narrowly ovate, dark-green leaves. In summer and autumn it bears saucer-shaped, bright-yellow flowers with orange anthers. It bears bright-red fruits in autumn. Plant in well-drained, or moist but well-drained, soil in sun or partial shade. Pruning, when required, is generally carried out in mid to late spring.
