Read detailed description :

This excellent Maple, with its finely cut leaves, will keep its purple-red colours even during the summer, whereas, other maples will have already gone copper-green. In autumn it will turn a bright purple-red colour, tinted orange. The finely cut foliage is one of the most resistant to direct sun. It stays compact, sprawls in age with the drooping branches.
