The foliage changes color in winter to a reddish chocolate bronze and then to more of an orange red in spring. Colors can vary depending on where it is planted, which makes Winter Chocolate one of a kind.
Hardy to -15° F when protected from windchill, you'll want to make sure it has well-draining soil and plenty of sun. Winter Chocolate growth habit is low and spreading, and it only reaches up to 18" tall x 24" wide.
