It works very well as a focal point in a container, or in a garden setting where you want colour without the spread of a large palmatum. A key feature is its tendency to push new growth in summer, keeping the plant fresh-looking and highly contrasted.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1516\" data-end=\"1528\">Colours<\/h3>\n<ul data-start=\"1529\" data-end=\"2178\">\n<li data-start=\"1529\" data-end=\"1705\">\n<p data-start=\"1531\" data-end=\"1705\"><strong>Spring<\/strong> : budbreak often raspberry red to cherry red, sometimes reading more red-bronze depending on exposure.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1706\" data-end=\"2015\">\n<p data-start=\"1708\" data-end=\"2015\"><strong>Summer<\/strong> : mature foliage may settle into bronze \/ coppery tones, but the highlight is the summer flush: it starts chartreuse green, then turns raspberry red and darkens, creating strong contrast.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2016\" data-end=\"2178\">\n<p data-start=\"2018\" data-end=\"2178\"><strong>Autumn<\/strong> : generally yellow to yellow-orange \/ orange (intensity varies with cool nights and light).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-start=\"2180\" data-end=\"2198\">Habit &amp; vigour<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2199\" data-end=\"2467\">Compact, dense habit.
