AMOENUM, green. The deeply cut, reddish 7-lobed leaves make this an especially handsome landscape plant. The spring color is spectacular, as it opens purple-red to bronze-red with bright green veins. In summer, the leaves turn brown green, later transforming rich crimson and carmine. It is a sturdy, vigorously growing cultivar. Spreading in habit, it needs space to develop its unusual weeping appearance.
