A mid sized shrub for the garden with large lobed foliage that turns brilliant red in autumn. Through summer large heads of creamy white pyramidal flower clusters are produced and age to soft blush pink as the season progresses.

The textured leaves resemble those of an oak and give the plant a bold architectural look. Prefers added compost in the soil and mulch in summer. Suits woodland plantings, shady borders and large containers and tolerates sun or shade. Deciduous. Hardy.
