With an upright form, Burgundy Lace has a well branched, graceful habit. Leaves are sharply serrated and emerge a lovely burgundy/red in the spring progressing to a greenish/bronze as fall draws near. Burgundy Lace will thrive in an area that provides dappled shade in the late afternoon/early evening as its foliage may burn in the hot afternoon sun. Growth Rate slow
