The new spring growth emerges a striking burgundy-red, maturing to a glossy dark green. This provides multi-season interest even when not in bloom. It flowers from late winter into spring and has a spreading, yet full habit. The combination of colorful new growth and classic red blooms makes it a standout in the landscape.

Faqs

Q: How much sun enhances the new leaf color?
A: The burgundy new growth is most vibrant with some morning sun or bright, filtered light. Too much deep shade may result in greener new growth. Afternoon shade is still crucial to prevent leaf scorch.

Q: Is it patented?
A: Yes, the ® symbol indicates it is a patented cultivar. This protects the breeder's rights and ensures you are purchasing the true, named plant.
