I have a shrub where the label has almost gone. The only bit left is the name Anton.
Anyone know it?

    A new Guzmania plant named ‘Anton’ particularly distinguished by its tall, purple bracted inflorescence. Plants of ‘Anton’ are of small to intermediate stature and are best grown in 10-cm to 12.5-cm pots. Plants of ‘Anton’ grow vigorously and produce exceptionally uniform crops. It tolerates a wide range of cultural conditions and is easy to grow.

    Hmmm ... Spiraea japonica "Anthony Waterer" was my first thought ... but it has an 'h' ... 🙄

    We think it maybe a form of Physocarpus , looking at the leaves. No photo, the camera is not working.
    What ever it is, it is not obvious.
    Beginning to think it has been misnamed as I cannot find any Physocarpus with that name or anything like. Maybe Little Angel as the closest.
    Thanks for trying.
