Small, slow growing, trouble free. The burgundy color is a bit dull in the peak of summer, with a little edging of green, but the fall color is spectacular. It's a color of hot vibrating red that glows in gray fall. Leaves out a bit late in spring, allowing the under canopy to be filled with bulbs. Keeps its leaves through November here.
