Description

A shirasawanum hybrid with fan-like leaves with short lobes which emerge an unusual pastel orange in spring turning to striking lime-green and yellow all through summer and taking on tints of orange-red in autumn before leaf fall. Tiny, purple-red flowers form in spring followed by very showy bright red seed heads which are held well above the foliage in late summer contrasting dramatically with the foliage. A slow growing form with an upright bushy habit when mature, and with attractive pale green bark. Grow in sun or partial shade, but will not tolerate full sun. Height and spread 3m (9ft).
