Action and Timing

Outstanding dissectum with large feathery purple red leaves to 15cm long and retaining its colour all season, eventually turning purple red and crimson during autumn. A dramatic strong growing mound former generally to 8ft that is best out of direct midday sun. The cascading effect adds movement and life.

Opinion

The rad dissected foliage is strong and powerful. An all rounder that has something going all seasons and is a fine companion plant.
