Growing & Care Requirements

• Hardiness: Thrives in USDA Zones 3–9.
• Light: Best in full sun; while it tolerates partial shade, full sun ensures the most intense burgundy leaf color.
• Soil: Adaptable to various types, including clay, loam, and sand, provided they are well-drained. It does not tolerate "wet feet" or poorly drained winter soil.
• Water: Needs regular watering during its first season; once mature, it has low-to-medium water needs.
