The Gardener's Notepad
Red Dragon is a superior red lace-leaf that is known to hold it's deep burgundy-red foliage color in the heat of Summer, even when others are beginning to fade out. The habit is fairly spreading, usually growing much wider than tall, although some pruning may be necessary to make it "just right".
