Foliage

Palmate leaves are deeply incised with seven to nine long fine lobes, each of which have evenly spaced divisions. This cultivar is at its best in spring when the rich burgundy-purple colour of the foliage is vivid. As summer approaches, the richness of the colour lessens and a slight green tone is combined with the dark colours. In autumn it returns to the burgundy-purple colours.
