View prices and availability
Grows from a shrub into a small tree with a broad, ovoid crown. Usually grown as a standard or full tree under cultivation. The long, somewhat bending twigs bear dark purple leaves. The young leaves are light red and particularly decorative in spring. The autumn colours are also striking, from translucent yellow to orange or radiant red. Large flower panicles develop in early summer. The individual flowers are small and inconspicuous. However, the panicles and their finely branching stems bear purplish pink hairs. Prefers fairly moist but well-drained soil. Can also tolerate drought. A position in full sunlight is required for good leaf colours.
