A new species from Japan readily distinguished by its more succulent growth and by it's larger, less divided leaves. The flowers are small, green and few in early and mid-summer but the panicles of tiny yellow-green flowers are of an undeniable subtle beauty. BUT it's selling feature is the yellow, orange and red autumn hues of a well-grown plant -- GORGEOUS to be exact. The stems take on a bright rusty hue which it keeps all winter and gives it the coveted 'winter interest' descriptor
