AMOENUM, green. Gregory says the name means grasshopper skin, and the leaves certainly become bright, grasshopper green in summer. They darken as the season passes. The fall color is an outstanding crimson to purple. This selection grows quite wide in the landscape and the leaves themselves look like chubby little hands. Very attractive!
