This stunning shrub is a deciduous tree with a weeping habit, showcasing its deeply dissected, lace-like leaves that exhibit a rich purple hue throughout the growing season. As autumn approaches, the foliage transitions to a striking crimson red, providing a memorable fall display. It thrives in partial shade to full sun and prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soils. Recommended for USDA hardiness zones 5-8, it can tolerate temperatures down to -20°F. Deer resistant and relatively low-maintenance, it typically reaches a mature height of 6-10 feet with a similar spread, making it an excellent choice for a focal point or container planting in a garden.
