I have not grown this plant. I have grown other types. This is a dwarf plant that is most compact when grown in full sun. It seldom grows over 4 feet tall and wide. It prefers moist, acidic well-drained soil. If the soil is alkaline, the leaves do not attain its deep plum color for which it is known and grown.
