As the foliage unfolds it tends to droop from the leaf stalk, adding a softness to the plants general appearance. The colour at this time is a soft yellow-green. The tips of the lobes are shaded with a blend of tones which are difficult to describe. Colours range from a persimmon red to a light

purple-red combination. the summer foliage is deep green. Fall colours are crimsons and reds.

The medium sized leaves have five to seven lobes. The lobes are ovate, but taper to slender tips, and are separated to about halfway to the leaf base. The margins are evenly and lightly toothed. Young shoots are deep red.
