Healthily growing cultivar with rather irregular, round crown, that grows from a shrub into a small, multi-stemmed tree. When maturing the branches may hang down a little, making the crown wider than it is high. The young leaf is bronze coloured. It turns dark green in summer, becoming deep purplish red in autumn. Each head of inconspicuous flowers is surrounded by four bracts that are pinkish red with a lighter base. The plant is shallow rooting with a fibrous root system and requires humic soil, which is not too dry.
