Foliage is glossy green and burgundy-purple, turning very dark purple in the fall. Pruning should be done immediately after flowering.

The 'wine' is the glossy burgundy and purple foliage highlighted by lime-green midribs. The abundant 'roses' are red in bud, eventually becoming pink beauties that provide a stunning contrast to the leaves, and are great in cut arrangements. This truly superior cultivar holds its exquisite leaf color when other species will not, the rich shade intensifying as autumn approaches. (pp #10772)

Developed by Herman Geers of Holland its a great improvement over 'Java Red'; dark burgundy purple foliage and electric rose pink flowers, this has gotten a lot of press and rightly so. Herman was in the states last year visiting Spring Meadow and wanted to come see Arrowhead, he's quite a plantsman, we spent the day looking at plants in a cold windy drizzle (he collects dwarf woody stuff) we could easily have spent days talking.
