Read detailed description :

A superb, compact and rounded shrub with delicate branches and leaves. Will adapt well to small spaces and containers, growing to a maximum of 1.75m over a 10 year period, sometimes 2.75m with age, and spreading a bit more. However, growth is rapid and cultivating, easy. The laciniated leaves are 5-8cm long with 5-7 lobes, and delicately and deeply divided. They are burgundy-red all season and become bright red in autumn. Appreciates a rich, fresh and well drained soil, not too chalky.
