General description
Deep purple-red dissectum keeps its deep color, in sun or shade, better than most other red dissectum. The young leaves of this cultivar are a bright scarlet in spring, becoming a dark burgundy as they develop. This rich coloring is retained throughout the growing season until it changes to an outstanding flaming scarlet again in the fall.
The growth habit is a compact, well-branched cascading mound, reaching 6' tall. The 'Red Dragon' will need some protection from cold wind and summer drought, but makes an excellent small garden, rock garden, container plant.
Slow growing small specimen maintaining dark maroon leaves all summer.
