The small, deciduous, under-story trees have a spreading, flat to rounded crown. Frequently planted as a street tree in residential neighborhoods, its heart-shaped leaves open bright reddish-purple, and will gradually mature to a more muted purple. They are easily grown in average, medium wet, well draining soil in full sunlight to partial shade

The flowers bloom from June to September, and the plants have a height of ten inches with a spread of up to two feet. This is a very drought tolerant variety but does need a well drained location. This beautiful plant attracts bees, butterflies and hummingbirds, and is the perfect plant for a first time gardener
