🌿 Description
An elegant deciduous tree valued for its rich purple foliage and attractive rounded form. Available as a bush, low tige, high tige, or trained form, it creates a strong contrast and an impressive focal point in the garden. In spring, it also produces delicate pink to white flowers.
🏡 In the Garden
Ideal as a focal point, along the garden edge, beside walls, or planted in a line to create rhythm and contrast. The bush form gives a fuller effect, while low and high tige forms create more elegant tree-like accents.
☀️ Light
Prefers full sun, which helps maintain its deep purple foliage.
🌡️ Climate & Elevation
Well suited to Lebanon from sea level to around 1,500 m, and potentially higher in suitable locations. It is a cold-hardy deciduous tree, but spring flowers can be affected by late frost.
💧 Watering
Water regularly while establishing. Once established, water during prolonged dry periods, especially in hot summer conditions.
✂️ Maintenance
Prune as needed to maintain the desired bush, tige, or tree form. Regular shaping is useful for plants trained along a line or near a wall.
💡 Plant Express Tip
Plant several in a line along a garden edge or wall for a striking purple backdrop, or use a single high-tige specimen as an elegant focal point.
